Unsung Stories is an Australian podcast for Christian mothers. The show interviews regular mums living out the gospel in regular, everyday life. Motherhood, and being a mother, often feels unacclaimed, overlooked and unglorified. Unsung Stories wants to press into these feelings and show how God is working in these spaces - in the ordinary women in ordinary places. Through weakness, Gods power is on display. He is working in these unsung moments.

I wanted to call this episode, "What is a good mum?", as it's where Mel and I land in our conversation. But more appropriately titled out of the heart of our conversation, "We are sinful mums". What a tagline hey. Not really what we want to be known for. But we are. This episode, Mel shares her journey with motherhood. We both consider how motherhood was th

Parenting Through Chronic Illness: The Real Calling of Motherhood with Stacey Campbell

Stacey’s episode was helpful in two ways; not only for the mum who is battling chronic or silent illness, but for every mama as we consider what we are actually called to in motherhood.It was so encouraging to hear Stacey’s reminder that it’s not the things we do with our hands and bodies that are the important work of motherhood.
