In today’s episode of the Only Love Today Podcast, Megan sits down with Colorado worship leader, pastor’s wife, and mom of four Kristen Christy to talk about the beauty and strength found in simply doing the next right thing. Kristen shares honestly about motherhood in the midst of toddlers and teens, the impact of loss, serving together as a family, and how surrendering control opens the door for God’s grace to fill our everyday lives.

Kristen invites moms to release the pressure of perfection, lean into their limitations, and trust God with what’s right in front of them. This conversation is a gentle encouragement to surrender, slow down, and pay attention to the holy work happening inside our everyday lives.

Whether you’re in a season of overwhelm or the mundane feels endless, this episode will remind you that every small yes to God matters — and that He meets you right where you are.
