Strength (A Mother's Calling) - 11 May 2025 w/ Pania Thompson

If you missed Peak Live and want to watch the replay of the live stream, you can watch that here: youtube.com/live/CudrVf4G69oPania shares about the real, raw, and beautiful journey of motherhood—both the highs and the hard bits. She starts by honouring all the Mamas, recognising the different roles they play and the deep sacrifices they make—not just in career or lifestyle, but in literally giving their bodies, time, and hearts to raise kids. She reminds us that mums are more than just caregivers—they’re emotional anchors, truth-tellers, and tea-makers, always there in the big and small moments of life.One big thing we learn from Pania is that stepping into motherhood—or anything meaningful, really—rarely comes at the “perfect time.” She encourages us not to wait for the ducks to line up in a row, but to take a step of faith. She reminds young couples not to be afraid to start the journey, because there will never be a perfect house, job, or bank balance.Pania also takes us through the story of Bathsheba to highlight Bathsheba’s strength. Even after pain, betrayal, and loss, she becomes the mother of Solomon—the one chosen by God to build the temple. Pania shows us that even in the messiest situations, God brings strength in purpose, redemption, and honour.------If you have joined us for the first time or you'd like to send our Pastors a message, you can say hi and share with us here: peakvisionchurch.co.nz/welcomeLearn more about Peak Visionpeakvisionchurch.co.nz/explore
