Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

Shalene Roberts

Mom + Author + Bible Teacher

Hi Y’all, I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Shalene Roberts, mom to five, author of When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees + Bruce the Brave. I’m also a YouVersion Bible study contributor, a Million Praying Moms partner, a podcast guest, and a contributing writer to Her View From Home, Motherly and more.

I’ve been writing about the intersection of faith and motherhood for nearly two decades now. In When Mothering is Hard , I unpack the sacredness of this role and encourage moms to view motherhood through the lens of eternity. It’s my hope that I can impart a bit of that life-changing truth to you in those pages and in this space.

So pour a cuppa and grab a seat. There’s incredible encouragement waiting for you right here.

Encouraging women to anchor in Christ, nurture grace-filled families and foster life-giving homes.

How can I help you?

📖New book “When Mothering is Hard & No One Sees” | Encouraging moms to anchor in Christ, nurture grace-filled families, foster lifegiving homes

We’re headed to see our college freshman soon, and We’re headed to see our college freshman soon, and I can’t wait to hug his neck, experience his world and meet the new faces I’ve heard so much about. I also want to be intentional with our time, so I thought of a few questions I’d like to ask. Wanted to share them here too in case they might be helpful to other college parents. 

Save this post so you can come back to it. I hope these spur you onto deeper conversation with your student.

What an immense privilege to sit down with @davean What an immense privilege to sit down with @daveannwilson and @familylifeinsta earlier this week! When I wrote “When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees”, I promised I’d walk through every door the Lord opened, and I’m so grateful He opened this one. 🎤

We had an authentic, honest conversation about parenting, the hardships of motherhood and the way the Lord meets us in the midst of it all, and I can’t wait to share the conversation with you! I think you’ll be encouraged.

Thank you Dave, Ann and FamilyLife! It was a joy!

If you’ve never examined the claims of Jesus, if y If you’ve never examined the claims of Jesus, if you’ve never looked at His life and considered submitting yours to Him, then on this anniversary of Kim’s home-going, consider doing just that. 

Examine Christ’s words and the words others have written about Him. Examine what historians and those who have sought Him and found Him have had to say. 

Good places to start include Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Christ”, Josh McDowell’s “The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict”, and McDowell’s “A Ready Defense”. Then, say one prayer. “God, show me.” Simply ask Him to show you Himself. Then get ready to listen. Because if you truly tune your heart to hear, He will answer.

5 Bible Verses to Pray Over Your Children in Septe 5 Bible Verses to Pray Over Your Children in September (save this so you can come back to it throughout the month)

1. For wisdom and discernment — James 1:5

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”

Prayer: Lord, give my child wisdom this school year. Guide them to make good decisions, help them recognize what is right, and lead them to seek You when they don’t know what to do.

2. For protection — Psalm 121:7–8

“The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.”

Prayer: Father, watch over my child wherever they go. Protect their body, mind, heart, and friendships. Go before them into every classroom, hallway, practice, and activity.

3. For courage to stand firm — Joshua 1:9

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Prayer: Lord, help my child have courage when they feel left out, pressured, or afraid. Give them the strength to stand for what is right even when it’s hard.

4. For good friendships — Proverbs 13:20

“Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”

Prayer: Lord, surround my child with wise, kind, Godly friends. Give them discernment about the people they allow to influence them, and help them to be a good, encouraging friend to others.

5. For keeping Christ first — Matthew 6:33

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Prayer: Lord, don’t let grades, sports, popularity or achievement become an idol.  Help my child to seek You first. Help them to remember that their identity and worth are found in Christ—not in what they accomplish.
