"If you don't read your bible, how are you going to grow in Jesus?" Pastor Matt, NorthRoad ChurchIn this special episode of the Aligned Mommas Podcast, Samantha Capstick and Nikki Trout share a powerful sermon from Pastor Matt Bartig [NorthRoad Church] that deeply spoke to their hearts. This message dives right into a tough yet transformative question: *If you knew your life was about to end, how would that change the way you live?* For many women, life can feel like a series of struggles—bad relationship after bad relationship, poor choices after poor choices, or moments of seeking comfort outside of God's will. But friends, there is hope.No matter how far you’ve fallen or how hopeless things may seem, God has a better plan for you, and He offers a way out. Life can feel overwhelming, but you can start fresh today. Psalm 39:4 reminds us: “O Lord, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am.” Time is short, and God is calling you to His truth, wisdom, and protection. Are you ready to turn to Him?In this episode, Pastor Matt will encourage women who may not have been taught how to choose a good man, or who feel trapped in cycles of destructive behavior, to look to God for guidance. He shares how essential it is to know His Word—hidden in your heart like armor, ready to fight against the enemy and the lies of this world. It’s time to grab hold of the freedom God is offering. Open your Bible today. Let His Word be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Freedom is right in front of you—don’t wait any longer!Grab your Bible, listen to this life-changing episode, and get ready to walk in freedom today. ✨Be sure to join the Aligned Mommas Community Facebook group to connect with us and other mommas just like YOU!

We are beyond excited to share this powerful episode! Megan Dyer’s testimony is one of incredible strength, courage, and the relentless fight to be the best mom she can be. Her journey from addiction to redemption will move and inspire you in ways you never imagined!!Our deepest prayer is that this reaches a momma out there who’s struggling with addiction. To that mom: know that with God, you can overcome. You are not alone, and there is no need for shame or guilt in your story. No way! You are not “less than” because of your struggle. In fact, your story has the power to encourage, empower, and uplift others who are facing the same battle - to save lives!Sitting next to Megan, listening to her story, I (Samantha) felt so many emotions. There was heartbreak for what she had to endure, but also immense joy in seeing how she turned her life around. She is now a shining light for so many, and we believe she will be a voice that reaches far and wide to help others heal.Addiction is close to my heart. I’ve seen friends and family fight this battle, and I understand the stigma that comes with it. Watching someone you love, who is an amazing person, be judged or dismissed because of their addiction is heartbreaking. Society often fails to see that addiction is not a reflection of someone’s worth. The hypocrisy of how addiction is viewed can be the hardest part to bear.Most of us have had our moments of drinking too much or experimenting with things we shouldn’t have, and most get to chalk it up as a "young and dumb" moment, but for some, it turns into a dark cloud never goes away. It becomes the fight of their lives. But here’s the truth: there is always hope. No matter how long the cloud has been hovering over you, tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start. Sobriety is possible, whether you’ve been struggling for a year or for 20 years.If you’re in the midst of that struggle right now, we pray this episode gives you the strength, hope, and inspiration to believe that recovery is within reach.Your journey is not over. There is a brighter tomorrow ahead.

Sometimes God sends a powerful message in the form of a dream - and that's what Ginger Trout is here to talk about. Samantha and Nikki sit down [virtually!] with Ginger to hear all about the encounter she had with an older version of Nikki's daughter in a dream that took place in February 2019.Nikki's seven-week-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer a few days prior to the dream. Since then, Sadie has had 17 rounds of chemo, along with radiation, and glaucoma treatment, among many other things, in order to save her vision and her life. Five long years later, Sadie is thriving and is an amazing young lady! But... she still has low vision in her left eye and no vision in her right. But God isn't done with her! Ginger, while reserved in nature, recently disclosed that God wanted her to share the dream - and that is TOTALLY out of her comfort zone, yet here she is! So we said, of course!!Nikki can only hope and pray that this could mean Sadie's miracle, that she's longed for, is just around the corner. Please join us in praying for Sadie!We hope you enjoy this podcast and that you leave encouraged to believe in the things that are unseen.

We are all called to a specific purpose and all are called to love others. Our hope is that next time you are tapped or feel the tug to say yes to God, that you say YES!Or, perhaps you don't know the Lord or have been walking away for some time, remember He is there with arms wide open, waiting for you to come home! Go! Go running back home!So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."
