What is Beyond Bath Time?

If you’re a mom, you know what bath time is. It’s that part of the day when you pile your brood into the tub, the bathroom floor gets covered in soapsuds and the grime of the day swirls right down the drain. It’s all part of the routine of life with kids, along with Cheerios for breakfast, shuffles to and from soccer practice and regular squabbles about what to eat.

All of that routine can make us feel like our job as moms is trivial. Factor in the messages sent by culture that career is king and children are a burden and the average mom can start to feel frustrated, bitter or just plain bored with her role.

If you find yourself somewhere on that spectrum, let me offer hope. God’s Word is rich with encouragement for you, mom. God esteems the role of mom more highly than you could imagine. In fact, the clear message in Scripture is that what you’re doing as a mom is Kingdom work.

Beyond Bath Time is a book created to help moms like you re-think your role. It’s a community of moms connected through this website and committed to re-claiming motherhood as a sacred role. It’s a call to mothers everywhere to live out their God-given design as life-givers with God’s glory in mind.

I’m looking for a few good moms. Moms who will dare to hold on to a view that seems old-fashioned and out-of-date and search for God’s heart on the issue of motherhood. Moms who are willing to do some work to see past the endless list of responsibilities that come with mothering in order to see a bigger, more eternal picture. I’m looking for women who will stand up to the culture and re-claim motherhood as a high and holy calling.

I’m looking for you.
