The Gospel According to Mum Deep-Dive Episode 18 - The enduring heart of the faithful with Anne-Maree Choi

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.

The Gospel According to Mum Episode 17 - The beginning was His Word with Jessica Paewai

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.

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.

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.
