RISEN MOTHERHOOD
GOSPEL HOPE FOR EVERYDAY MOMENTS
Motherhood is hard. In a world of five-step lists and silver-bullet solutions to become perfect parents, mothers are burdened with mixed messages about who they are and what choices they should make. If you feel pulled between high-fives and hard words, with culture’s solutions only raising more questions, you’re not alone.

Reading Risen Motherhood is like enjoying a long conversation with two girlfriends who will make you laugh out loud, comfort your tears, and faithfully speak life-giving words of truth to your soul.

Parenting is often the crucible in which we learn what we can and cannot control. Laura and Emily remind us that while we cannot control people or circumstances, we can control our perspective. They offer us a framework for motherhood that transcends time and culture but that also faithfully addresses us in the here and now. I'm thankful for this hope-filled book.

Emily and Laura are the best friends I wish I'd had during the difficult days of early motherhood, when my patience wore thin, my boredom loomed large, and my sense of worth and purpose became muddled. The wisdom they have to offer in the pages of this book is seasoned and scriptural.
NANCY GUTHRIE
Author, Bible teacher, and ongoing pursuer of risen motherhood
You might think that Scripture doesn’t have much to say about the food you make for breakfast, how you view your postpartum body, or what school choice you make for your children, but a deeper look reveals that the Bible provides the framework for finding answers to your specific questions about modern motherhood.
Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler co-founded Risen Motherhood while in the trenches of motherhood right alongside their readers. This 10-year-long ministry and chart-topping podcast sunsetted in 2026. With a combination of accessibility, relatability, and solid biblical knowledge, Emily and Laura simplify complex scriptural truths, relating and applying them to everyday life. As sisters-in-law, Emily and Laura both live in central Iowa with their families.

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.
