What joy to have my friend Cassy on the show to talk about motherhood! We believe this conversation will encourage moms in any season. May you be reminded today that your role as mom is so valuable and we "see" you! Cassy is a pastor’s wife, a mom of three, and a children’s ministry director. She and her family have been residents of Minnesota since May 2023, when the Lord launched them into full-time ministry at Lighthouse Christian Church, Rosemount, MN. That is when Cassy's career as a full-time SAHM began. As a graduate of Cincinnati Christian University and a former youth pastor, Cassy's passion is to make theology relevant and understandable for all ages so that Jesus gets the awe and wonder He deserves!

In this world, we will have trouble, Jesus said, but He added not to worry because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). With so much happening in nearly every corner of the world, it can be easy to become caught up in the latest news cycle and become distracted. Yes, the world is groaning (Matt. 24), but let's be women who don't become so focused on that and forget our God is mighty and at work! Let's continue to occupy the land and be about the Father's business in this hour! Learn more about Susan and her ministry, She Rises, at http://www.sherisesmn.org.
