In a culture that prizes strength and prowess, Emily Jensen extends a biblical and welcome invitation to acknowledge our weaknesses in the presence of Christ—the only One who is all-powerful. With theological grounding and practical and poignant insights from her own life, she welcomes her reader to lean on Christ, who knows our weaknesses (and embraces them) better than we do ourselves.

With refreshing honesty and biblical wisdom, Emily turns our eyes away from ourselves and onto Jesus—the One who is able to give us strength when we are weary and courage when we are fearful.

As the familiar hymn says, “They are weak, but he is strong.”Let these Scripture-filled reflections remind you that Jesus loves you, even in your weakness. You can rely on the strength of God in any challenge you face.

Hey, I'm Emily.

In between loads of dishes, laundry, and library books, you’ll find me writing and recording content that applies timeless gospel truths to all of life.

When people ask me what I do, I always fumble around. Yes, I’m the cofounder of Risen Motherhood and you might know me from Instagram or a conference stage. I'm a Bible teacher and author who loves helping women see how Scripture can shape both daily and big life decisions.


What does God's truth say when I’m disappointed? When I need to make a decision? When I’m frustrated with someone I love? When I’m folding laundry, answering an email, or realizing for approximately the 400th time that I’m not as patient as I thought I was?

Let's open our Bible and see how the gospel can reach further into our daily lives.

KEEP DIGGING IN

Let God's truth reach further and take root, from everyday choices to big life decisions. God has more to say than you may realize.


Here are a few more ways you can connect.


And always remember, there is grace as you grow.

Emily
