Finding God Alongside Your Kids

Mom life can be beautiful, challenging, messy and rewarding. It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by juggling mom life, work life and everything else, that we can wake up and feel like our spiritual life is parched. It’s also easy to carry mom guilt and end each day being so hard on ourselves. We often carry the weight of feeling like we need to be all things to all people. Our hope is to give you podcasts, blogs, resources and more that not only quench that thirst you feel, but also send that pressure packing. Come hear stories of moms being real and grab tools to help you in your everyday pursuit to love God and love your kids. We here at Collide want to inspire your #momlife, not weigh it down! Let’s journey together as we find God while parenting kids.
