In Episode 18 Deep-Dive: Unfaithfulness, we hear from Anne-Maree Choi. Anne-Maree is a wife, mother, step-mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. She works now as a Christian Counsellor and Lifestyle Coach in private practice in Brisbane. She is also now the author of Heartbroken, yet Radiant, which shares her personal story of healing from intimate betrayal.

In this episode, Anne-Maree shares how her husband's confession of an affair sparked an 8-year trudge with the Lord faithfully at her side through incredible hurt and grief and then a process of healing. Finally, through God's amazing redemptive power and her own unwavering faithfulness, she was restored to life and the godly marriage she longed for. We look together at the nature of God's faithfulness and His call for us to bear that characteristic, as well as the destructive effect that refusing the call has on our own life and the lives of those around us.

Jessica Paewai is a mother of two, a business owner and training to be a Religious Instruction teacher. After growing up in a strict Pentecostal church in South Africa, Jessica had wandered far from God and her faith. After many years in the world, one morning, she found herself literally running to church. And yet her relationship with God remained lukewarm until the day she and her husband received the devastating news that their 3 year old son had been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a severe and progressive muscular disorder which affects all muscles in the body, including those used for breathing and spine support. Children with DMD generally lose the ability to walk by the age of 12 years.

Jessica shares how this event brought herself and members of her family back into deep relationship with God, and how it began writing a story of both physical and spiritual healing into her life. We discuss these events and the extraordinary power that speaking the Word of the Lord can have on body and soul.

Not only has Cheri been called to trust God in sometimes overwhelming circumstances as a mother, her ministry responsibilities and just living life. She also shares how God brought a blessing and surprise into their family in circumstances where such a thing seemed impossible.

Tanya Greig is a mother of 2 and works in school administration. She has been a Christian all her life and served in various roles including religious instruction in schools. At 36 she was diagnosed with breast cancer that began a 7-year journey into deep relationship with God.

In part 2 of this episode, we hear how Tanya's journey with cancer led her through multiple treatments and surgeries. Even after she lost and regained the ability to walk, her faith in God has continued to grow, as He led her through every trial. We discuss the surprise it still is when God shows us even a tiny portion of the love He has for us, and our very human response to His generosity.

In part 1 of this episode, Tanya shares how her journey with God through cancer began. We begin to tease out the conflict between our reliance on the body for this life and our trust in God who sustains it and uses it for His eternal purpose. Step by step, God gently moved into the central position in Tanya's life, remarkably, revealing His life-giving power through events that seemed so destructive.

Jodie is also the author of "Bringing Forth Life: God's purposes in pregnancy and birth". In part 1 of this episode, we discuss the driving forces behind Jodie's decision to write the book and her personal experience of giving birth for the first time. The first experiences of motherhood are not only transforming us as people but transforming the bodies we thought we knew so well. We look at the physical impact of that transformation and the deepening understanding of our body and it's value.

Welcome to Season 4 of The Gospel According to Mum, the show where we discuss the transformational work done in us by Jesus Christ as we live out motherhood and discipleship with him. Our season opens with two wonderful testimonies from Jodie McIver and Tanya Greig. These personal stories illustrate what it means to be a disciple of Christ as they acknowledge both His ultimate sovereignty and authority and lay out what it means to follow Him at all cost.

As ever, we need women like you and the mighty women of God you know to share their stories and help us all to grow and flourish in Christ. To find holiness in the mundane and see with God's eyes the greater purpose of our lives. Don't ever feel your story is too small. Just remember who wrote it. As Tanya Greig so perfectly says: Your story is His glory. And, at the end of the day, it's just a chat with me, your host, Tanya Reason. Find out more about how you can share and engage with the show and this community of disciples at www.thegospelaccordingtomum.com
