Safe + Secure: Life with Contentment

MomLife Ministries Season 3 Episode 6

Send us a text

We live in a world that constantly tells us we need more, deserve more, and should never be satisfied. Yet Psalm 23:1 reminds us, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I have all that I need.” So what does it really mean to live with contentment when our culture fuels discontentment at every turn?

In this episode of the MomLife Ministries Podcast, we’re continuing our series Safe + Secure: Life With the Good Shepherd with special guest Chris Baxter (learn more about Chris at respitefortheweary.com). Together we’ll unpack what contentment looks like in real life—how to resist the “I deserve” mindset without slipping into passivity, how to worship in the waiting, and how to trust God’s sovereign plan in our relationships, parenting, and seasons of longing.

If you’ve ever felt the tension of wanting “more or different,” but also sensed the call to rest in God’s provision, this conversation will encourage you. Contentment doesn’t come from circumstances—it comes from the Good Shepherd, who is both our authority and our compassionate guide.

Christmas Morning: A Heartwarming Christmas Adventure of Wonder and Faith by Chris E. Baxter, mentioned in today's episode, is available now.
