Why Every Mom Needs a Godly Tribe

I used to think I could handle everything on my own. I’m a mom of two little boys — loud, lovable, and full of energy — and I figured that with enough coffee and determination, I could do it all. But motherhood has a way of teaching you that strength isn’t found in isolation. It’s found in community.

Somewhere between diaper changes, sleepless nights, and the endless cycle of “Mom, watch this!” I realized I was running on fumes. I was giving everything I had but never getting refueled. That’s when I joined a women’s Bible study at my church, and it changed everything.

Every week, I sit with a group of women who get it. They know what it’s like to balance marriage, motherhood, and the daily struggle to keep Christ at the center of it all. We pray for each other, laugh together, and sometimes cry together. There’s something powerful about sitting in a circle of women who remind you that you’re not alone in the fight — and that even when life feels overwhelming, God’s strength is enough.

For some, that small group looks like a Sunday School class or a moms’ Bible study that meets at a local coffee shop. For others, it’s an online community where prayer requests and encouragement flow through group texts and late-night messages. The format doesn’t matter as much as the fellowship. What matters is being surrounded by women who will lift you up, speak truth when you need it, and help you see God’s hand even in the chaos.

We were never meant to walk this journey alone. Scripture tells us to “bear one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2), and that means being honest enough to say, “I need help.” It means letting others in — into the messy moments and the victories, too.

Having a Godly tribe doesn’t make life easier, but it makes it richer. It reminds me that even when my patience runs thin and the laundry piles high, I’m part of something bigger than myself. I’m part of the body of Christ — and within that body are women who encourage, challenge, and walk beside me every step of the way.

So if you’re feeling weary, find your people. Join that group. Say yes to the invitation. Because there’s incredible strength in knowing you don’t have to do life — or faith — alone.
