Join Lisa and Laura for Unshakable Identity. During these four weeks we look at four different aspects of our identity as women and the corresponding characteristics of our feminine genius. As daughter, it’s sensitivity. As sister, it’s generosity. As bride, it’s receptivity. As mother, it’s maternity. Our goal is that as we explore each of these, we will gain a better understanding of our true identity. In this final episode, Lisa and Laura dive into the fourth aspect of our identity: motherhood. You do not have to have biological children to be a mother, because mother is the very essence of femininity. We are all mothers and our maternity is a gift we are called to offer widely and generously. This is an episode for every woman longing to mother or be mothered. 

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.
John 19:7: Behold, your Mother.

Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.
Ephesians 4:15: Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.

Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.
What does "spiritual motherhood" mean to you? Have you had the experience of being a spiritual mother or have you been spiritually mothered?
How might the Lord be calling you to cultivate a spiritual mothering presence in your community, whether it's within your church, workplace, or neighborhood?
Ask the Lord for the name of a person you are called to mother.
