Embracing Motherhood With Grace: A Path to Empowerment Through MomQ
Lauren Simonton’s story began on a note of seeking—seeking community, seeking guidance, and seeking a deeper connection to faith amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood. It was within the welcoming arms of MomQ that Lauren found her sanctuary, a place where real moms, facing real challenges, come together under God’s love to support and uplift one another.
Journeying Together: Challenges Met with Courage
Every mom’s journey is unique, and so is Lauren’s. Lauren Simonton, a mom of three energetic little ones, Rylie (5 years), Baker (4 years), and Campbell (4 months), knows the daily rollercoaster of motherhood all too well. Like many moms, Lauren felt overwhelmed, especially with her strong-willed firstborn, Rylie, and her second child, who had a completely different personality. Disciplining them and finding a parenting style that worked for both kids felt nearly impossible.
A Guiding Light
Lauren’s journey to rediscover her confidence as a mom began at Hill Country Bible Church. There, she met Michelle Thomason, who introduced her to MomQ. Intrigued by the prospect of a supportive community of moms, Lauren decided to attend the following Wednesday’s gathering. In the embrace of MomQ, she found herself among friends who understood the tender dance of parenting distinct personalities, the ache of missing a close-knit family, and the longing for a Christian fellowship in a new city.
A Flourishing Faith and Family Transformed
Through the “Becoming a Confident Mom” series, Lauren discovered the strength to navigate and celebrate the challenges of motherhood. With MomQ’s resources and the group’s encouragement, Lauren developed a parenting approach that addressed her children’s unique personalities.
She grew spiritually, her family blossomed in faith, and the love within their home deepened. Lauren’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of community and faith, revealing the beauty of God’s guidance in the sacred ministry of motherhood.
An Invitation to Grow Together
Lauren’s story is an invitation to all moms on the doorstep of discovery. It’s a call to join hands with MomQ, to find strength in biblical teachings and the shared experiences of mentor moms who’ve walked the path before, and to remember that in the journey of motherhood, you don’t have to do it alone.

Freedom Parenting In a World of Fear
One of the biggest challenges of being a Christian mama is that our kiddos are daily facing the ramifications of living in a dark and fallen world. The question is, how does that challenge impact the way we parent? Is it our job to protect our kids from anything that would harm them and choose to parent from fear, or equip them to face whatever opposition they might face and parent from a place of freedom?
