Identity in Mothering

Can you relate to a loss of identity since becoming a mother?

Have you ever used mothering as an excuse to keep you from moving forward or from being fully present?”

Identity in Mothering” speaks to the struggles that many of us moms have with losing our identity after having children. Motherhood is not the sum of our existence, and we’re not simply “just a mom.” No matter our dreams, goals, and hearts’ desire(s), God still sees, knows, hears, and will use us — regardless of where we are in our parenting journey.

In this hallmark message, Angela shares a slice of her testimony and relates this to a biblical story of identity and worth. Whether you’re a new mom or a seasoned veteran, this is a valuable lesson to learn…again and again!

My Battle Plan

Like a modern-day warrior preparing for battle, we too should gear up and ready ourselves to wage war against the negative influences of our day.

We have a real and present enemy that desires to steal and kill and destroy us (John 10:10) — but we don’t have to be passive participants in this life…we can move forward on the offensive with intentionality and precision.

“My Battle Plan” is a call to action; it gives practical ways to seek the Lord and move forward with purpose and divine guidance. In this feature message, Angela gives fellow warrior raisers useful tools while framing the content with biblical truth and weaving in stories from her own life.

Worrier to Warrior

Many of us mommas struggle with worry, fear, or anxiety, and we believe we may be passing our insecurities on to our children. Raising the next generation is stressful, and it’s even more difficult to project confidence for our kids when life seems so uncertain.

While ridding our thoughts of all worry will never be 100% possible — we can still do our part to arm ourselves and our children with ways to combat the worry battle in our minds.

In her message, “Worrier to Warrior,” Angela teaches through a biblical lens, offering her perspective of being a recovering worrier who actively works to apply the strategies she gives in this signature message. Waging war on the “worry battlefield” is a lifelong process, but there are ways we (and our children) can be victorious and not feel helpless in the fight!

PEARLS & PALMS

Can you think back over your life and recall a specific time when you knew the resistance you were facing was a clear indication that you were advancing in the right direction?

In this message, Angela uses the story of Hannah (found in 1 Samuel) to illustrate the significance and value of resistance in our lives.

No matter the hardship, difficult people, or friction in our life – rather than praying it (or them) away, we should lean into the pain and discomfort and ask God, “What’s the purpose in this pain?” “Who am I becoming?” “What is the lesson in this suffering?” “What is being produced in and through me?” We might just be surprised and end up with a beautiful pearl.

be unoffendable

In today’s interconnected world, it’s all too easy to stumble upon content that might ruffle our feathers—whether on TV, social media feeds, or in everyday conversations. However, amidst this sea of potential offenses, lies a powerful truth: we hold the ultimate choice on whether to take offense or not.

Angela, through her teaching, emphasizes that in our shared journey through life, moments of friction are inevitable. However, she reminds us that these instances can serve as opportunities for growth and resilience.

We can choose what affects us. We decide whether to take offense or respond with grace. Let’s be unoffendable!

I got the recommendation for Angela Johnson to speak to our MOPS group off this page and I'm SO glad that I did. She shared her presentation - My Battle Plan - which is about moms not having to be reactionary, but instead being intentional! She was real with our group and shared some personal things happening in her life...she could have easily cancelled on us at the last minute, but she didn't! I'm so grateful that despite challenges in her life, God used her to speak into our moms' lives. Highly recommend. Authentic, Funny, and Encouraging! - RACHEL WOLOHAN

Angela has been given a gift of reaching moms with the words that the Lord has placed on her heart. If you are in need of a speaker either in person or through zoom you won't be disappointed! She has spoken twice to our group this year and each time our mamas are so blessed! - MOLLY SMITH

If anyone is looking for a virtual speaker for your group I would highly recommend Angela Johnson. She can also be found on the MOPS speaker network and was a coordinator for her local MOPS & MOPSnext ministry for many years. This morning she shared with us her presentation called “My Battle Plan” which is all about being intentional with our thoughts, our actions and our faith. She offered very practical applications for our season of motherhood, encouraged self-reflection and taught us ways to incorporate & study scripture. This was such an encouraging morning and our cups have been filled with hope, faith and direction for this season. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Angela! - ANNELIESE EDDY

We had an incredible meeting on Zoom this week featuring speaker and MOPS leader, Angela Petrosino Johnson.

Thanks again Angela! We were just so blessed by her! - LAUREN HERMANN

We had such a great meeting last night with Angela Johnson (MOPs network speaker!) who zoomed in from Ohio and joined our in person meeting here in Tacoma!
