Mark My Words
A Mother's Trust in Storms

Ask any mom—storms don't wait for good timing. The fever hits at 2am. The phone call comes during dinner. The hard season arrives without warning. And moms are usually the ones holding the boat steady while everyone else panics. This Mother's Day sermon walks through Mark 4, where the disciples are sinking and Jesus is asleep, and asks a question every mother has probably whispered at some point: don't you care? It's a message about the quiet, gutsy faith it takes to trust Jesus in the middle of the waves—and how good moms have been modeling that kind of trust all along. To every mom, grandmother, stepmom, foster mom, and woman who has mothered someone who needed it—we see you. Thank you for being a shelter in so many storms.
