Is the fruit of the Spirit something that just happens for other moms… or is there actually a way to grow it in the middle of your own everyday chaos?

In this episode of The Purpose of Motherhood podcast, Ashlee gets honest about a struggle every Christian mom knows well — wanting to respond with patience, kindness, and gentleness, and instead running on empty by 9am.
Ashlee shares a lesson she learned from gardening, of all places, about how the right soil changes everything, and how that unexpected lesson pointed her straight to John 15:4 and Jesus’ call to “remain in Him.” If you’ve ever felt like bearing good fruit as a mom is just about trying harder and gritting your teeth through the hard moments, this episode will shift the way you think about it entirely.
Together we’re walking through what it practically looks like to remain in Him even when your mind is consumed with everyone else in your home, including why fruit isn’t something you produce through effort, but something that grows naturally out of staying rooted. Ashlee shares three practical, doable ways to remain in Him in the middle of a full and busy home: opening your Bible and memorizing it, learning to pray as a habit, and keeping worship music on.
This episode is for the Christian mom who wants a faith-filled home, who wants to disciple her children with confidence, and who is tired of feeling like patience and gentleness are personality traits she just wasn’t born with.
In this episode we cover:
• What John 15:4 actually means for busy Christian moms
• A gardening lesson that reframes how you think about bearing spiritual fruit
• Practical ways to stay rooted in Christ without adding another thing to your to-do list
• How staying rooted in Him equips you to disciple your children with confidence
The Purpose of Motherhood podcast exists to help Christian moms build faith-filled homes, disciple their children with confidence, and find their purpose in the everyday moments of motherhood.
