In this raw and reflective episode, Sarah Futo opens up about years of unmet expectations on Mother’s Day and how God completely changed her perspective this year. She shares how the desire to be celebrated and honored turned into disappointment—until she realized she was seeking glory instead of giving it.
Inspired by a reel from Abbey Wedgeworth and rooted in Psalm 100, Sarah invites listeners into a conversation about:
Why seeking celebration from others will never satisfy us
How social media can stir up discontent, especially for moms
The truth about motherhood, identity, and glory
What it looks like to lead with gratitude instead of entitlement
How this year, she actually felt more seen, known, and joyful by giving God the glory first
Whether you’re deep in the chaos of raising littles, wrestling with unmet expectations, or just needing encouragement to reframe how you show up for holidays—this one is for you.
