EP 7 //Are You Born Again? Understanding the New Birth in Christ

🌿 Episode Overview Many faithful moms are doing good things—loving God, caring for their children, praying, and showing up. Yet beneath the faithfulness, there can still be quiet uncertainty: Am I truly secure with God? Do I really belong to Him? Do I know Him—or just know about Him? God never intended for faith to feel shaky or unsure. Scripture teaches that we can know we are born again—not hope, not guess, not rely on someone else’s words—but be assured through God’s truth. This episode explains the new birth in Christ in a simple, steady way and helps moms understand how this assurance shapes both their own faith and the faith they model for their children. ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why God wants you to have assurance, not uncertainty What it truly means to be born again according to Scripture Why hearing God’s Word for yourself matters The difference between the world’s way of living and God’s way How faith brings quiet confidence—not pressure or perfection Why a steady, persuaded mom teaches a steady faith at home How this clarity helps your tween navigate noisy, confusing years 📖 Scripture References Mentioned  1 John 5 – Written so that believers may know they have eternal life John 4:1–42 – The woman at the well and believing after hearing Jesus personally 1 John 5:1–5 – Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God John 3:16 – Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life Matthew 13:44 – The parable of the hidden treasure Luke 18:18–23 – The rich young ruler Genesis 19:26 – Lot’s wife looking back Romans 10:9–10 – Believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth 🤍 Key Takeaways Being born again does not mean being perfect or having all the answers Being born again means receiving God’s life through faith in Jesus Christ Faith is agreement with God—trusting what He says is true God’s ways are not burdensome; they lead to freedom and victory Assurance brings peace, steadiness, and confidence that overflows into the home Children learn faith best by watching it lived, not just explained 🤝 Faith Mom Mentoring Invitation If you’re listening and thinking, “I want to understand this better,” or “I want help walking this out,” you are not meant to do that alone.
