Well mamas… I HAD THE BABIES! 🩷💙

This week's episode is a day late because what started as contractions on Sunday afternoon turned into a trip to the hospital—and we came home with TWO babies in our arms!

And honestly, I couldn't think of a more fitting scripture for this season:

“When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” — Psalm 61:2

Motherhood can be overwhelming. We worry about our babies, our teenagers, our marriages, finances, health, our mistakes, and whether we're doing enough.

But maybe faith isn't about becoming so strong that we're never overwhelmed.

Maybe it's about becoming so familiar with Christ that when we are overwhelmed, we know exactly where to go.

In this week's Come, Follow Me Moms episode, we're digging into some of the most powerful Psalms for motherhood.

We talk about:

• ❤️ What to do when your heart is overwhelmed

• 🙏 Why we can pour out our whole heart to God

• ❤️‍🩹 Why struggling doesn't mean you're failing spiritually

• ✨ Mom guilt, repentance, and beginning again

• 🩷 Teaching our children repentance by letting them watch us apologize and change

• ❤️ Elder Peter F. Meurs's powerful message “He Could Heal Me!”

• ✨ President Russell M. Nelson's teachings on repentance and becoming better through Christ

• 🙏 What to do when God feels far away

• 🧠 Why remembering what God has done before can strengthen our faith now

• 👩‍👧‍👦 Why moms are the rememberers in our homes

• 📖 Teaching our children God's stories AND telling them our own stories of faith

• ❤️ “I will declare what He hath done for my soul”

Psalm 51:10, 12 — “Create in me a clean heart, O God.”

Psalm 61:2–3 — “When my heart is overwhelmed…”

Psalm 62:8 — “Pour out your heart before him.”

Psalm 66:16 — “I will declare what he hath done for my soul.”

Psalm 69:1–3 — Turning to God when we feel like we're drowning.

Psalm 77:11 — “I will remember the works of the Lord.”

Psalm 78:4–7 — Teaching the next generation so they will “set their hope in God.”

Psalm 86:5 — The Lord is “good, and ready to forgive.”

President Russell M. Nelson — “We Can Do Better and Be Better”

Elder Peter F. Meurs — “He Could Heal Me!”

Ask yourself:

What has God done for my soul?

Think of ONE story—an answered prayer, a miracle, a prompting, a time He carried you, forgave you, or gave you strength.

Then tell your children.

It doesn't have to be a formal Come, Follow Me lesson. Tell them at dinner, in the car, or while you're putting them to bed:

“Did I ever tell you about the time Heavenly Father helped me when…?”

Because maybe motherhood isn't about raising children who never struggle.

Maybe we're raising children who know where to turn when they do.

When their hearts are overwhelmed — go to the Rock.

When they mess up — go to Christ.

When God feels far away — remember.

And when they see His hand —

declare what He hath done for their souls. ❤️

Come, Follow Me August 17–23, 2026 | Psalms 1–2; 8; 19–33; 40; 46 | Come Follow Me Scripture Study | LDS Scripture Study | Bible Study for Moms

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we are studying the beautiful book of Psalms—and this one is all about learning to bring our whole heart to God.

The Psalms give words to so many parts of our lives: praise, fear, heartbreak, repentance, gratitude, questions, joy, and trust. They remind us that we can love God and still have questions. We can have faith and still cry. We can walk through hard things and still trust that the Shepherd is walking beside us.

In this episode, we're talking about:

• “The Lord is my shepherd” and what it really means to trust God when we don't know where the road is leading.

• Why we don't need the whole map when we know the Shepherd.

• Psalm 8 and the incredible truth that the God who created the heavens is still mindful of YOU.

• Psalm 19:1 and noticing God's goodness and creation all around us.

• Why “How Great Thou Art” connects so beautifully with this week's study.

• Looking backward and recognizing God's timing line upon line.

• Comparison and remembering that there is room in God's house for all of us.

• Bringing our broken hearts to God instead of trying to carry everything ourselves.

• “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

• Psalm 46:10 — “Be still, and know that I am God.” What does stillness look like in the middle of busy motherhood?

• Psalm 24:3–4 — clean hands and a pure heart.

• Elder David A. Bednar's message “Clean Hands and a Pure Heart” and how Jesus Christ doesn't just change our behavior—He changes our hearts.

• The beautiful example of Elder Bednar's mother making scripture come alive for him as a child—and why our efforts to teach our children about Jesus matter, even when we aren't sure they're listening.

• Brother Bradley R. Wilcox's message “Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness.”

• Why God's love for us and His desire for us to change can exist at the same time.

• Repentance as a lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus Christ.

• The sacrament as a spiritual “gas station” where we can repent, renew our covenants, refill, and keep going.

One of my favorite reminders from this week's study is:

The goal isn't to never stumble. The goal is to keep following the Shepherd.

Sometimes we follow beautifully. Sometimes slowly. Sometimes confidently. Sometimes crying. And sometimes we wander and need Him to come find us.

But we keep coming back.

Choose one Psalm that speaks to where you are right now and put it somewhere you'll see it this week.

Maybe:

“The Lord is my shepherd.” — Psalm 23:1

“The Lord is my light.” — Psalm 27:1

“Joy cometh in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Then choose a hymn connected to Psalms and play it in your home. Tell your children why you love it and what it teaches you about Jesus Christ.

Let's make the scriptures come alive for our children.

Because someday they may remember:

My mom taught me that.

David A. Bednar — “Clean Hands and a Pure Heart”

Bradley R. Wilcox — “Worthiness Is Not Flawlessness”

Psalms 1–2; 8; 19–33; 40; 46 Psalm 8 Psalm 19:1 Psalm 23 Psalm 24:3–4 Psalm 27:1 Psalm 30:5 Psalm 46:10

You don't need the whole map when you know the Shepherd.

Trust Him. Follow Him. And when you stumble?

Repent. Refill. And keep going.

He knows the way home. ❤️

Come, Follow Me August 10–16, 2026 | Job | Come Follow Me Scripture Study | LDS Scripture Study | Bible Study for Moms

Why do bad things happen to good people? Where is God when life falls apart? And can we still trust Him when we don't understand what He is doing?

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we're diving into the story of Job—and this one is for anyone who has ever found themselves asking God, “Why?”

Job was a righteous man who loved God, and yet he experienced unimaginable loss. He lost his wealth, his health, and most devastatingly, his children. His friends misunderstood him. He questioned. He grieved. He wondered where God was.

And yet, in the middle of his suffering—not after everything was fixed—Job declared:

“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.” — Job 13:15

And:

“I know that my redeemer liveth.” — Job 19:25

That is what we're talking about this week.

We'll dig into what Job's story teaches us about trusting God when life doesn't make sense, asking God the hard questions, sitting with people in their grief instead of trying to explain it, and recognizing that suffering does not mean God has abandoned us.

We'll also talk about Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin's message “Come What May, and Love It” and what it means to keep choosing God through the unexpected, painful, and difficult parts of mortality.

• A simple overview of the story of Job
• Why bad things can happen to good people
• Why hardship isn't always punishment
• What Job's friends teach us about supporting someone who is hurting
• Why it's okay to ask God hard questions
• “I know that my Redeemer liveth”
• “When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold”
• Trusting God before you know how the story ends
• What happens when God finally answers Job
• Looking back and asking, “Where was God in my story?”
• Inviting the Lord into the chapters of our lives we never would have chosen

One of my biggest takeaways this week is this:

You don't have to know WHY when you know WHO.

You may not understand this chapter of your life. You may still be waiting for an answer. You may be living through something you never would have chosen.

But you can still know your Redeemer.

You can still bring God your questions.

You can still say, “Heavenly Father, I am trying.”

And you can trust that your suffering does not get the final word.

Because of Jesus Christ, God does.

🩷 Question to ponder this week: Think of one chapter of your life you would never choose to relive. Where was God in that story?

And then ask yourself:

Where might He be in the story you're living right now—even if you can't see Him yet?

Job 1:21 Job 13:15 Job 19:25–27 Job 23:10 Job 37:14 Job 38 Job 42:10–17

Come what may. Keep trusting. Keep turning toward Christ. Your Redeemer lives. 🩷

Come, Follow Me Moms is a weekly Come, Follow Me podcast where we take the meat and potatoes from the lesson and apply it to motherhood, family life, and the real things we're walking through every day.

This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we're studying one of my favorite women in all of scripture—Esther.

Esther's story is so much more than a story about courage. It's a story about God's divine design, His perfect timing, and His hand working behind the scenes even when we can't see Him.

Have you ever wondered:

• Why am I in this season of life?
• Why these children?
• Why this ward?
• Why this trial?
• Why now?

If you've ever asked those questions, this episode is for you.

Together we'll walk through Esther's story—from an orphan girl becoming queen, to Mordecai's faith, Haman's pride, and the incredible moments that remind us that there are no accidents with God.

One of the most amazing things about the book of Esther is that God's name is never mentioned—not once. Yet His fingerprints are on every page.

Maybe that's true in our lives too.

Sometimes we're looking for lightning bolts, while God is quietly working through:

✨ a prompting ✨ a friend ✨ a closed door ✨ an unexpected opportunity ✨ a conversation ✨ perfect timing

We'll also talk about:

• Why Esther's courage came after fasting and prayer—not before. • Elder Ronald A. Rasband's powerful General Conference message "By Divine Design." • How God prepares ordinary people for extraordinary moments. • Why motherhood is your own "for such a time as this." • The importance of finding your own "maidens"—those faithful friends who pray, fast, encourage, and strengthen you through life's hardest seasons.

I also share a sweet Family Home Evening experience our family had this week that reminded me how often God—and the people around us—see gifts in us that we don't always recognize in ourselves.

If you've been wondering whether God sees you in the middle of motherhood, exhaustion, waiting, or uncertainty, I hope this episode reminds you that He does.

He has always been in the details.

• Esther's story retold in a relatable way
• "For Such a Time as This"
• God's fingerprints in everyday life
• Elder Ronald A. Rasband's "By Divine Design"
• Courage through preparation
• The power of fasting and prayer
• Finding your "maidens"
• Trusting God's timing
• Applying Esther's story to motherhood
• Seeing God's hand in your own life

Scriptures studied:

• Esther 1–10

General Conference Reference:

• Elder Ronald A. Rasband, By Divine Design

If this episode encouraged you, would you take a minute to leave a review and share it with another mom? It helps more women find the podcast and reminds them they are never alone in their scripture study.

Thank you for being here each week. I truly love studying the scriptures with you.

Remember, God is in the details. He has been preparing you longer than you realize, and the courage He asks of you today may become the answer to someone else's prayer tomorrow.

With love,

Cassie Moore Come, Follow Me Moms

What if this week's Come, Follow Me lesson isn't really about rebuilding a temple... but about rebuilding your life?

In this week's episode of Come, Follow Me Moms, we dive into the inspiring stories of Ezra, Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and Nehemiah and discover how God specializes in rebuilding what feels broken.

Maybe you're rebuilding your testimony.

Maybe you're rebuilding your marriage.

Maybe you're rebuilding your confidence as a mom.

Or maybe you're simply trying to rebuild your patience after a long summer with kids at home.

No matter what you're rebuilding, these chapters remind us that God is in the business of restoration.

This week, Cassie also shares a personal milestone as her oldest child starts high school while she prepares to welcome twins in just a few short weeks. From newborns to teenagers, every season of motherhood brings new challenges, new joys, and new opportunities to trust the Lord.

Together we'll learn why:

✨ God can work through people both inside and outside our faith to accomplish His purposes.

✨ The first thing the Israelites rebuilt wasn't their homes—it was the altar.

✨ Every mother is a builder, laying one faithful brick at a time.

✨ Comparison steals joy, but God celebrates progress.

✨ "The joy of the Lord is your strength."

✨ Why Nehemiah's words, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down" (Nehemiah 6:3), are a powerful reminder for every mom.

If you've ever felt discouraged, overwhelmed, or like you're rebuilding after a difficult season, this episode will remind you that the Lord has not forgotten you. Brick by brick, prayer by prayer, He is building something beautiful.

• Why King Cyrus is an incredible example of God working through unexpected people.
• Who Zerubbabel, Ezra, Jeshua, and Nehemiah were—and why their different callings matter.
• What it means to become a "builder" in your home and family.
• How to overcome opposition while doing God's work.
• Why Ezra's example teaches us to seek, do, and then teach.
• How scripture study brings lasting joy and strength.
• Practical ways to strengthen your family one small step at a time.

📖 Ezra 1:1–3

📖 Ezra 3:10–13

📖 Ezra 7:10

📖 Nehemiah 2:18

📖 Nehemiah 4:6

📖 Nehemiah 6:3

📖 Nehemiah 8:10

This week, ask yourself:

What is God inviting me to build?

Maybe it's your relationship with Him.

Maybe it's your marriage.

Maybe it's your confidence.

Maybe it's your child's testimony.

Whatever it is, don't underestimate small beginnings.

One prayer.

One scripture.

One act of kindness.

One encouraging word.

One brick at a time.

Because that's how God builds His kingdom.

If this episode encouraged you, would you take a minute to follow the podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share it with another mom? It helps more women find Come, Follow Me Moms and reminds them they're never alone in this beautiful journey of motherhood.

You can also find Cassie on Instagram for daily encouragement, motherhood, homeschooling, faith-filled inspiration, and behind-the-scenes life with five kids and twins on the way.

Until next week...

Keep building. Keep trusting. And remember—you are doing a great work. 🩷

LDS Scripture Study | Come, Follow Me | Christian Motherhood | Bible Study for Moms | Prayer and Faith

Welcome back to another episode of Come, Follow Me Moms! 💕

This is your weekly motherhood Come, Follow Me podcast where we pull out the meat and potatoes of each week's lesson from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and apply it to real life motherhood.

This week we are studying 2 Chronicles 14–20, 26, and 30, and wow... this lesson hit me deeply.

The question that kept coming to my mind all week was:

What do faithful people do when life doesn't make sense?

Because let's be honest, moms don't usually live in easy answers.

We live in the middle of:

• Prodigal children
• Scary diagnoses
• Financial stress
• Marriage struggles
• Depression and anxiety
• Pregnancy complications
• Exhaustion
• Unanswered prayers

And that's exactly where the kings in this week's lesson found themselves.

In this episode we discuss:

✨ The story of King Asa and what he teaches us about relying on God

✨ Why a good beginning doesn't guarantee a good ending

✨ President Dallin H. Oaks' invitation to become peacemakers

✨ Elder D. Todd Christofferson's powerful message about trusting God even when He doesn't answer the way we hoped

✨ Jehoshaphat, Micaiah, Ahab, and learning to listen to true prophets

✨ Why your worst mistake does not define your story

✨ The incredible story of three armies gathering against Judah

✨ One of the most powerful prayers in scripture:

"Neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee."

— 2 Chronicles 20:12

✨ What it means when the Lord says:

"The battle is not yours, but God's."

— 2 Chronicles 20:15

✨ Why the singers went before the soldiers

✨ Praise before victory

✨ Worship before deliverance

✨ Faith before answers

✨ How Hezekiah gathered the people back to God through worship, singing, and remembrance

This week I share a personal experience surrounding the Forrest Frank concert, worshipping with thousands of Christians, and a late-night prayer for my son that reminded me of God's awareness and love.

As I studied this lesson, I couldn't stop thinking about Forrest Frank's song:

"Somebody Prayed"

Because every chapter felt like another reminder that miracles often begin with prayer.

Maybe you're where you are today because somebody prayed.

Maybe your children are being blessed because somebody prayed.

And maybe that somebody is you.

📖 2 Chronicles 14:11

📖 2 Chronicles 15:2

📖 2 Chronicles 16:9

📖 2 Chronicles 20:12

📖 2 Chronicles 20:15

📖 2 Chronicles 20:17

📖 2 Chronicles 20:20

📖 Proverbs 3:5–6

❤️ What battle am I trying to fight on my own?

❤️ Am I relying on God or relying only on myself?

❤️ What burdens have I picked up that belong to God?

❤️ How can I become a peacemaker in my home?

❤️ What would change if I kept my eyes on Christ instead of my circumstances?

If you're carrying something heavy right now, let Jehoshaphat's prayer become your prayer:

"Lord, I don't know what to do...

but my eyes are upon Thee."

And remember:

**The battle is not yours.

It is God's.**

Maybe years from now you'll look back and realize that the miracle started the moment...

Somebody prayed. ❤️

🎧 If this episode blessed you, please share it with a friend, sister, daughter, or fellow mom who may need this reminder today.

Because none of us were meant to fight our battles alone.
