Risen Motherhood’s Last, Best Advice for Moms

https://media.thegospelcoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/05114426/Risen-Motherhoods-Last-Best-Advice-for-Moms.mp3 Listen to the author read her article. Laura Wifler’s oldest son was born in 2013, just as the mommy blog pendulum was swinging from bright and happy to raw and gritty. On one side were still moms who “seemed to have it all together, had big parties, and were perfect,” Laura said. On the other were “moms who thought motherhood was brutal and hard, who were just waiting until bedtime.” In the middle of it, Laura was trying to figure out if making your own baby food was a moral choice, whether she should use cloth or disposable diapers, and how to discipline a toddler. Laura’s sister-in-law Emily Jensen was wondering the same things, and the two started trading voice messages. They weren’t just looking for best practices—they wanted to know how God wanted them to do those things. They talked about heart postures, ordered loves, and biblical principles for everything from playdates to potty training. “You love your kids so much—if God has a best way or right way to do things, you want to do that for them,” Emily said. “And we found that a lot of other moms of young children in our stage of life in the church were asking these same questions.” After a while, the two started recording their talks. In January 2016, they posted a handful of episodes on issues such as mommy guilt, postpartum body image, and teaching your children about Jesus. Laura Wifler and Emily Jensen / Courtesy of Risen Motherhood “The listens weren’t crazy high,” Emily said. “But they went beyond our friends and family bubble, and we started getting requests for topics.” The pair kept going, and over the next 10 years, their Risen Motherhood (RM) ministry exploded. Their podcast was downloaded more than 17 million times, their social media accounts garnered more than 460,000 followers, and the two authored three books together. In a culture full of lonely and anxious young women, Wifler and Jensen became friendly voices in hundreds of thousands of earbuds. “It’s way bigger than I thought it was going to be,” RM board member and PCA women’s ministry coordinator Karen Hodges said. “You couldn’t have drawn a business plan for that to unfold.” And yet, this spring, Laura and Emily shut it down. They did this for a host of reasons—they were moving out of the baby stage, needed more time for their growing kids, and didn’t want their content floating unsupervised out on the internet. But they also did it to encourage young moms to seek real-life community, said RM marketing and operations director Jordan Paschal. Part of her job was to read communication from women. “What we found most frequently is that, honestly, a community group would have answered most of these moms’ questions,” she said. That’s Laura and Emily’s message for the next generation of young moms: As you wrestle with eco-friendly choices, microplastics, and mindful parenting, make sure you go to church. Connect with real-life women. And talk together about biblical principles as you train your children in the way they should go (Prov. 22:6). Beginning Emily grew up in a Christian context. Still, when she came to a saving faith in college, everything changed. “The church tradition I grew up in did not have a big emphasis on gospel literacy or discipleship,” she said. “Being in the Word of God and understanding how it applied to my life was something that became very important to me very quickly.” She dove into Bible Study Fellowship. “That was paradigm-shifting for me in terms of how I think about trends or culture,” she said. Instead of looking for strategies to guide or improve her life, she started thinking first about biblical principles, then deriving plans from there. After college, Emily married Brad Jensen. His family was full of serious Christians, including his little sister Laura. “Laura and I both had young kids at home, and we were talking through motherhood strategies,” Emily said. “Are you going to use cloth or disposable diapers? How are you going to start them on solid foods? What about sleep training?” The internet offered no shortage of parenting advice, and sites like The Gospel Coalition were talking about what it means to love Jesus, Laura said. “But there weren’t a lot of people applying theology and God’s design to something as granular as ‘Should I breastfeed or bottle feed?’” The women traded ideas and advice verbally, through a messaging app called Voxer. But they also talked about them with other friends while serving in the nursery or hosting playdates. Quickly, they realized a lot of moms were asking these same questions. “What if we tried doing a podcast?” Emily asked Laura. “We wouldn’t be coming from a place of ‘We have the answers,’ but we could talk through the questions we’re asking, our thought processes, and the places that we’re turning to for help.” Laura, who is almost always up for trying a new project, said yes. Podcast Their timing was perfect. The growth of smartphones made it possible for moms to tune in to podcasts while they were getting ready for the day, doing laundry, or cooking. From 2015 to 2025, female podcast listenership in the United States jumped from 15 percent to 45 percent. Emily and Laura kicked off the first episode with the same message they’d repeat over and over: Your life is not about you. “We’re not going to get our joy from a perfect rest time, away from our children,” Emily said. “We’re not going to get our joy in having our house perfectly cleaned, or getting to this imaginary place where all of our laundry is done and where our children are behaving.” Emily and Laura in the early days / Courtesy of Risen Motherhood Joy is only found in Christ, she said. That’s why they called themselves Risen Motherhood: “We want to be moms who live in the light of the resurrection of Christ.” This affected everything. In one episode, Laura and Emily explained that self-care doesn’t mean a spa day or bingeing on Netflix but having regular habits of prayer and Bible study, going to church, or writing in a journal. Their episode on postpartum body image didn’t give advice on dieting or on loving the size you are but on finding worth and identity in Christ and in the biblical definition of beauty (1 Sam. 16:7). And an episode on marriage didn’t complain about how much of the invisible load they carried but reminded listeners to serve, forgive, and remember you’re on the same team as your husband. The number of listeners began to creep up. “I can’t think of any other content out there dealing with these nitty-gritty, decision-based questions that moms of young children had,” Emily said. “[For listeners,] it was like, ‘Oh, my biggest thoughts and questions are being represented in these two moms.’” Emily and Laura liked producing the podcasts just as much as people liked listening. They did another run of five episodes, and then another. Changing Landscape: Social Media From the beginning, Laura and Emily noticed their audience was often logging on to social media, probably for the same reasons they listened to podcasts—in general, mothers of young children are physically tired, looking for mental stimulation, and in search of parenting advice. While less than 70 percent of American adults use Facebook, 87 percent of mothers do. And 80 percent of parents log on daily, compared with 70 percent of adults in general. Back in 2016, mothers were sharing updates of their children, pictures of their lunches, and advice on each other’s posts. When women saw each other in real life, their conversations started in the middle: “It looked like you had a great time at the beach!” or “Where did you find that skirt you wore on Friday?” Sometimes, this interaction with friends, podcasts, and blogs was good. “We need to look around at other moms and get information about how to love our children,” Emily said. “There’s no doubt that wisdom and ideas and knowledge from different sources—older women, friends, and strangers online—has helped me. At the same time, it can pile a lot of things onto your heart that you actually don’t need to do, that you don’t need to feel pressure to do, that the Lord is not asking you to do. And now you’re carrying all of this weight.” The cultural weight on American moms in the 2010s was exacerbated by affluence and consumerism—except for small dips here and there, America’s GDP has been rising rapidly for 75 years. At the same time, Americans were having fewer babies, seeing more targeted ads for baby products (and spending more on them), and then comparing their purchases or decisions to those of their friends—and increasingly, their influencers. “This generation has an outsized focus on every single detailed decision that we are making,” Emily said. “That’s how we stack up our motherhood: What vacation did I take them on? What clothes did I put them in? What toy did I buy them?” As other platforms joined Facebook in the social media space, moms diversified, logging on to Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and others. At the same time, the rise of professional influencers, targeted ads, and algorithm-driven news feeds meant women were seeing fewer and fewer posts from people in real life. And that led to a culture of lurking, which can be both positive and negative. “There is so much freedom in not worrying about what my picture of my kids on Christmas morning is going to look like or what the caption is going to be,” said Jordan, who stopped posting a few years ago. “I don’t have to go back to check if people liked it. But on the other hand, as a lurker, all I see are reels of perfect people doing perfect things. I don’t see any of my real friends.” In 2011, nearly all Americans said they went to social media to stay in touch with friends and family or to make new connections. By 2025, less than 60 percent of people used social media that way. Now, users say they go to fill spare time, read content, and find things to buy. It might seem like that doesn’t matter—who cares why people log on? But it does. Changing Landscape: Isolation By the spring of 2017, RM’s podcast listenership was doubling every month. In December, they hit a million lifetime downloads. Their listeners loved RM’s gospel perspective on normal, everyday things, from the cold and flu season to postpartum depression to making dinner. But they also loved Emily and Laura’s friendship. “As sisters-in-laws how did your friendship develop?” one listener asked in 2017. “Did your friendship come naturally, and how much did you work for it in the beginning?” “What does Laura love best about Emily, and what does Emily love best about Laura?” asked another in 2018. And in 2019, listeners were asking, “Do you guys hang out a lot outside of podcast/book stuff?” and “Do you ever struggle with comparing yourselves to each other? How do you deal with this?” Laura and Emily have been friends for 17 years. / Courtesy of Risen Motherhood The questions were interesting, since female friendships were changing dramatically during these years—especially among the younger generations. As Americans traded reading, exercise, and socializing for TikTok and Instagram, the amount of time people spent at home increased, the minutes with friends decreased, and the number of close friends plummeted. It didn’t help that you were no longer seeing posts from real people on social media. “That’s what increases some of the hate on social media,” Jordan said. “You don’t think of that person as real—they’re not your friend. So people make the worst comments.” Instead of building real-life friendships, young moms were more likely to find an influencer—such as a tradwife who makes her own bread and votes Republican or a crunchy granola mom who shops the farmer’s market and leans left on social issues—and align themselves with her. That wasn’t the only problem. “The world is much broader—but, if you think about the algorithm, it’s also getting narrower again,” Emily said. Over time, mothers began “to feel that everyone is doing this one thing, because that is what the algorithm thinks I like, and now it’s giving me more of that,” she said. “And then, when I encounter someone outside of that stream in my real life—at the grocery store or at church—it’s like, ‘What are you doing?’” Laura and Emily saw this increasing polarization in the survey they conducted—28 percent of moms ages 18 to 29 reported they “very often” support other moms in parenting decisions, compared to 32 percent ages 30 to 44, 36 percent ages 45 to 54, and 46 percent ages 55-plus. They also saw it in the responses from some listeners. “I was surprised at people’s inability to deal with nuance,” Laura said. “We would talk about infertility and get a complaint that we didn’t address secondary infertility. Or we’d talk about miscarriage and someone would be hurt that we didn’t talk about stillbirth. We’d talk about disabilities and get pushback that we didn’t name Down syndrome.” For Laura, this was the hardest part of being on the internet—and it got worse in 2020. “COVID was a minefield, right and left,” she said. “There were so many things people wanted us to speak to. And COVID did matter to moms—it did affect their daily life. But we had also made a commitment to not respond immediately about things.” RM got through COVID with just a few resources. But Emily and Laura were aware that the sensitivity of their listeners stayed elevated. In fact, “it got worse over time,” Laura said. Changing Landscape: Mental Health RM kept addressing the needs around them, with podcasts on suffering, anger, and comparison, and with articles on anxiety (for both moms and kids), depression, and loneliness. In 2021, they kicked off TGC’s Social Sanity in an Insta World book project and released their most popular podcast series ever—on how to handle social media. “I had not heard anyone talk about motherhood and the gospel this way,” said Jordan, who ran across RM through social media in 2019. “I understood the gospel, and I was a brand-new mom, and I had no idea how to put the two things together. And RM was such a breath of fresh air. It felt very approachable, and it made sense even when I wasn’t getting a lot of sleep.” By the end of 2021, RM was big enough for an office space. By 2022, they hit more than 250,000 Instagram followers. By 2023, the podcast had more than 15 million downloads. Emily and Laura greet RM listeners at The Gospel Coalition’s 2022 conference. / Courtesy of Risen Motherhood Along the way, Laura and Emily noticed that parenting concerns were shifting. “The conversation became more psychological,” Laura said. “Are you an authoritative or gentle parent? What type of discipline strategist are you? How do you talk to your kids about their emotions?” “Happiness is a big goal,” Emily said. Gen Z, in particular, seems to be less worried about “climbing the corporate ladder, about achievement or success. They’re asking, ‘Am I enjoying my leisure time? Am I happy in my life? Do I have good mental health? Am I able to do the things I want to do with my time?” This concern extends to their children. “Moms are really curious about their child’s development and what might have impacted them,” Laura said. “What did they do wrong—or what is in their DNA—that is now shaping their child’s mental health? There’s this obsession with mental health and trauma. It’s my identity, and it’s my child’s identity.” Emily and Laura could see this cultural shift in the questions they were receiving. “What things (good or bad) did/do you get hung up on pertaining to raising little ones?” one listener asked. “Things that you obsess over or try with all your might to control eg. sleep, food, hygiene? And more importantly, how do you give those things over to God?” “How do you get intentional time with each kid during the day?” asked another. “What does connection with your kids look like? Do you have one-on-one time with each child each day? Dates with individual kids?” Laura and Emily did their best to apply a gospel lens. They told listeners: We feel strongly about sleep schedules and healthy foods but have learned to check our own hearts to make sure we’re valuing the things that God values. When we happen to get one-on-one time with a child, we try to pray with them, sing with them, or ask them how they’re doing. Remember, your life is not about you. Your child’s life is not about them (or you). Your life is about Christ. Their message didn’t change. But their audience did. Forever Young As Emily and Laura’s kids grew, they occasionally tried to talk about older-kid issues. Every time they did, their audience seemed less engaged. That’s probably because while their audience numbers continued to expand, the biggest listener base never budged from 18 to 29 years old. “When you’re a young mom, you need somebody to tell you how they sleep-trained their child or what meal planning they did,” Laura said. “Once moms are in the middle years, they’ve pretty much figured out who they are and what they want to do. They’re harder to reach and seem to have less time to listen to podcasts. One of the challenges RM faced was that our audience struggled to grow with us. It just kept being these moms of young children who were asking for more content.” Laura and Emily knew they’d need to do a lot more research to stay relevant for the next generation of young moms. They’d need surveys and listening groups. And they’d probably need to create accounts on TikTok and YouTube. With nine kids between them, they also knew they didn’t have the bandwidth. Besides, they’d already laid out their message as clearly as they could with three books, more than 240 podcast episodes, and more than 600 articles: Moms, pursue Christ. Study your Bibles. Pray. And then ask the Lord to help you push those principles down into the smallest moments of your days. Sunset In April 2025, RM released its last new piece of content. Behind the scenes, Emily and Laura talked about leaving their site active, allowing future generations of moms to listen to their podcasts and read their articles. But the internet isn’t a great place to leave content unsupervised—links can break and words can be taken out of context. Laura and Emily wondered if they’d said too much about their kids or how the future would frame their advice. So in May 2026, all articles and podcasts will be taken offline, and visitors will instead be directed to Emily and Laura’s growing number of books. RM staff at the sunset celebration in April 2025 / Courtesy of Risen Motherhood “The Lord raised it up for a time, and we’re very grateful for it,” Emily said. So are their listeners. “When I first had my daughter, I was struggling with anger and anxiety, and I felt alone,” wrote one listener. “Then I found RM, and God used this platform to transform how I saw motherhood. The Holy Spirit was able to speak and change my heart, and I didn’t feel so alone. I am grateful to this ministry and the ways God has used it in my life. I am now participating in a Risen Motherhood book study with other moms, and God continues to use this ministry in my motherhood.” Another said, “I started listening to the podcast when I was pregnant with my first baby. For her first year of life, my husband worked long hours and we lived far away from our church and biological family. The podcast was a lifeline of biblical encouragement, advice, and laughter that set me on a trajectory of truly loving that difficult and isolated season of motherhood.” Laura and Emily would love to see a younger mom pick up the website, social media, or podcast ministry baton. “That’s the exciting thing about the kingdom of God,” Emily said. “The Lord is absolutely going to continue reaching moms. He’s just going to use different means and different people to do it. We would love to see more ministries raised up. But even more, we would love to see moms form groups in their local churches or communities and have intentional discussions with each other in real life.”

‘Nuremberg’ Ponders the Particularity of Nazi Evil

‘Nuremberg’ Ponders the Particularity of Nazi Evil

Nuremberg ends with a sobering quote from R. G. Collingwood: “The only clue to what man can do is what man has done.” It’s a fitting final thought for a film about sinful humanity’s frightening capacity for evil. Even as the film recounts a specific historical episode from 80 years ago—the Nuremberg trials of defeated Nazi leaders—Nuremberg aims to be a timeless warning. We can sometimes think of Nazis as cartoonishly evil, assuming their sort of depravity is anomalous in history. Or we can dilute the term “Nazi” by applying it to anyone today whose politics feel “fascist” to our personal sensibility. But films like Nuremberg remind us that in the moment, evil can take a surreptitious shape—especially when it’s reinforced in society-wide patterns of confirmation bias. Some Nazis were monstrous bogeymen; others were banal. Grievance-driven aggression, self-deception, and other sinful habits compounded in Nazism with uniquely depraved and horrific results. By 1945, as Allied armies discovered concentration camps and the extent of Holocaust atrocities became more widely known, even some Nazis struggled to comprehend the depths of the darkness in which they were complicit. Göring and the Psychology of Evil Nuremberg (rated PG-13) is the first major feature film about the trials since Stanley Kramer’s influential 1961 film, Judgment at Nuremberg, which was nominated for 11 Academy Awards. Other films have explored the pursuit and prosecution of post-war Nazi criminals (e.g., 2018’s Operation Finale), and Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem is the definitive literary take on the question of Nazi morality, which she famously summed up with the memorable phrase “the banality of evil.” But Nuremberg is the first film in 64 years that takes as its primary subject the trials themselves. Even as it recounts a specific historical episode from 80 years ago, Nuremberg aims to be a timeless warning. Written and directed by James Vanderbilt, Nuremberg opens right as World War II ends. The film weaves two main storylines. One follows the development of the unprecedented international court and trial, led by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson (Michael Shannon). The other follows U.S. army psychologist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) as he does pretrial psychological evaluations of captured Nazi leaders like Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), Karl Dönitz (Peter Jordan), and Rudolf Hess (Andreas Pietschmann). Both storylines are compelling, but the film’s primary drama comes in the dialogue scenes between Kelley and Göring. Malek and Crowe deliver potent performances as men with different motivations who start to understand each other through regular meetings. Kelley initially sees Göring as basically a lab rat to help him learn more about the psychology of evil (“If we could psychologically define evil, we could make sure nothing like this happens again.”). But Göring turns out to be more normal, even charming, than Kelley anticipated. Göring is also steely and stubborn, refusing to give Kelley ammo for whatever thesis he might try to argue about Nazism’s unique evil. This cat-and-mouse dynamic of psychological chess provides narrative propulsion in a movie that might be a tad too long (2 hours and 28 minutes). Power of Visual Evidence While the Kelley-Göring scenes are consistently compelling, the film’s standout moment is a courtroom scene about two-thirds through the movie and about a week into the trial. It comes at a moment when the depths of Nazi evil feel like they haven’t yet been fully demonstrated. Göring and his fellow criminals may even feel like they’re proving themselves less monstrous than expected. But then prosecutors play real video footage of what was discovered at concentration camps when the Allies found and liberated them. (The footage is from a documentary called Nazi Concentration Camps, which you can watch on Prime Video.) For several minutes in Nuremberg, we watch what the people in the courtroom were seeing on November 29, 1945, in the shocking and disturbing footage from Nazi Concentration Camps: burned bodies, skeletal survivors, gas chambers, massive piles of human bones, decaying heaps of flesh being moved around by bulldozers. The courtroom is hushed to stunned silence. Suddenly, all the rationalizing of the defendants falls forever flat. So does the present-day Holocaust denial that we’re seeing from antisemitic figures like Nick Fuentes. The evidence leaves no room for denial or downplaying. Look and see. This is what the Nazis did. It’s on vivid, indelible, documented display. It’s barbarous. This was the first time most people in the courtroom had seen video evidence of Nazi atrocities. Eighty years removed, on this side of Schindler’s List, The Pianist, and other Holocaust movies, this imagery is familiar to us. Still, it’s deeply potent and important to keep in view. It reminds us of the visceral power of visual evidence to confront “nothing to see here!” manipulation, denialism, whataboutism, or other avoidance maneuvers. Were the Nazis Unique? Nuremberg ends with a dramatic epilogue in which Kelley is being interviewed live on the radio about his new book, 22 Cells in Nuremberg (1947), which he wrote about his interactions with Nazi criminals. The interviewer tells Kelley, “You must admit [the Nazis] were a unique people.” Kelley responds, “They are not a unique people. There are people like the Nazis in every country in the world today.” “Not in America,” the radio host replies. “Yes in America!” Kelley barks back. “Their personality patterns are not obscure. They are people who want to be in power. And while you say they don’t exist here, I would say I’m quite certain there are people in America who would willingly climb over the corpses of half the American public if they knew they could gain control of the other half.” While rhetorically powerful, this coda struck me as somewhat unhelpful. It’s not that Kelley’s argument—and the film’s closing argument—lacks merit. There’s truth in what he’s saying. But in leveraging the Nazi example to universalize the “human capacity for evil,” what’s lost is a depth of appreciation for the cultural and sociological specificities of what particularly led these “not unique” German citizens to collectively perpetuate such horrors in the 1930s to ’40s. Even if such evils theoretically could be perpetuated by people in any culture or nation at any time, the fact remains that it hasn’t happened exactly like this anywhere else. The Nazi atrocities are uniquely egregious. It matters that the power-and-control-hungry Nazis actually built an apparatus for mass extermination and carried out the genocide of 6 million Jews, when plenty of other power-and-control-hungry people don’t actualize their malformed desires in that way. Carl Trueman raised this point in his review of The Law of Blood: Thinking and Acting as a Nazi by historian Johann Chapoutot: Neither the Third Reich nor the Holocaust could have happened without the involvement of large numbers of ordinary, polite, civilized human beings. How and why? The Christian answer is that human beings at their core are sinful, depraved, and twisted toward selfishness. That’s true; but the fact that that answer is true doesn’t mean it isn’t trite. The cause that explains everything in general explains nothing in particular. The British were similarly sinful, but they didn’t orchestrate the systematic annihilation of the Jewish population in London. The French had a worse record on anti-Semitism, but they didn’t host the Wannsee Conference. So why Germany? And what of lasting value can be learned, if anything at all, from the catastrophic crimes of such a civilized nation? I wish Nuremberg had lingered on this question. Instead of insinuating that any one of us could become a Göring, perhaps more helpful would be an analysis of the constellation of cultural, political, and personal factors that made Göring such a singular evildoer in history. Even if such evils theoretically could be perpetuated by people in any culture or nation at any time, the fact remains that it hasn’t happened exactly like this anywhere else. More helpful than generic claims like “Evil knows no national, cultural, or political boundaries” would be an honest (if politically incorrect) admission that some nations, some cultures, and some politics have done more evil than others. This isn’t a subjective exercise to be weaponized in defense of “my side” against the other; it’s an honest conclusion from history. Good-faith historical investigation—like carefully looking into the circumstances of Nazi Germany’s rise—keeps our appraisal objective and specific, tethered to facts. If we want to keep something like the Holocaust from happening again, we won’t do it by lazily likening all political opponents to Nazism, collapsing all bad-actor politicians into the Hitler profile, or issuing vague warnings about fascism any time a political leader draws a line in the sand we don’t like. Instead, we can avoid repeating history by carefully attending to history in its depth and specificity. Ironically, the universal application of a movie like Nuremberg isn’t what it tells us but what it shows us: Nazism was its own particular thing. This fact doesn’t absolve us of being alert to similar evils in the present; it rather informs us more effectively about what specific factors, patterns, and coalescing trends should especially set off alarms.
