9. The God Who Mothers Us, Part 2

About this episode

The episode explores the maternal tenderness of God and its transformative impact on women's faith and healing.

In this gentle conversation with Elizabeth Berget, author of "Love Like a Mother: How the Sacred Work of Motherhood Reveals the Maternal Heart of God," we continue exploring how enlarging our understanding of God’s maternal tenderness can transform the way emotionally weary women experience faith, healing, and belonging. Together, we reflect on the sacred work of nurturing, caregiving, carrying, comforting, and remaining present through suffering—and how these deeply human experiences mirror the compassionate heart of God. This conversation invites us to move beyond harsh or striving images of spirituality and rediscover a God who gathers, comforts, nourishes, and stays near to the weary. If you have ever longed to experience God as safe, gentle, emotionally present, and compassionate, this episode offers a healing invitation into a more embodied and tender faith. Because perhaps divine love has always been more nurturing, attentive, and compassionate than we realized. 🤍 The Heartlifter Way Visit Elizabeth's website and order her powerful book: ⁠Elizabeth Berget⁠ Visit Janell's revised and revitalized website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Heartlift Wellness⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join a community of thoughtful…
