Finding the Secret of Contentment: You Can Rest in Him

Seasoned Mamas: God's Grace For Every Season of Motherhood

As we continue in our Teach Me What You’re Learning series, the Seasoned Mamas hear from Lindsay Hausch as she shares her journey writing her new book: The Secret of Being Content, which is a journey through the book of Philippians.
Lindsay begins by sharing how God inspired her to write the book in the midst of her struggle to go off of her SSRI medication. It was in the place where she felt the full weight of her emotions that God has trained her to bring the burden to Him and find His rest regardless of circumstances.
Of course, Lindsay is the first to admit that learning contentment is always an ongoing process. She invites the moms to discuss how they would rate their own level of contentment, and also challenges them to consider if they have ever felt content regardless of difficult circumstances.
Deb, Faith, and Michelle share their own discoveries on this topic as well as stories that remind us that lit can be hard to feel like we ever fully "arrive" when it comes to having all of our circumstances just right, but that God is good through it.
The moms close by sharing the difference between the world's definition of contentment and the one described by Paul in his letter to the Philippians. They find rest in reminding themselves that even though their circumstances are constantly fluctuating, along with their moods, they can always find rest in Jesus Who brings a deeper joy and contentment.
