 Come, Follow Me Moms January 19–25 | Genesis 3–4 · Moses 4–5 The Fall Was Not a Failure... It Was the Beginning Welcome to another week of Come, Follow Me Moms. I’m so glad you’re here. This is your weekly space to study the scriptures without pressure, connect them to real mom life, and feel the Spirit meet you right where you are. This week we’re studying Genesis 3–4 (the Bible) and Moses 4–5 (Pearl of Great Price). While these accounts are similar, the Book of Moses gives us deeper insight into why the Fall mattered and how it fits into God’s loving plan for us as mothers. ✨ Episode Overview At first glance, the Fall of Adam and Eve can feel tragic. But this week’s lesson reframes everything: The Fall was not a mistake. It was necessary so growth, agency, families, repentance, motherhood, and joy could exist. This episode explores: Why God allowed the Fall How agency applies to motherhood Why opposition doesn’t mean you’re failing How Jesus Christ was the plan from the very beginning Why God runs toward us with grace—not shame Mom Life Connection: “God Is Not the Dress Code Police” I share a story from my time as a substitute teacher at a charter school with strict dress code rules and how often kids try to hide when they’re “out of compliance.” So many of us treat God the same way. We hide. We avoid Him. We assume He’s waiting to mark us off for our mistakes. But that’s not who God is. God is not checking boxes. He is inviting hearts. He gave us agency because He wants us to choose Him—not fear Him. The Big Message This Week The Fall Was Not a Failure ... It Was the Beginning The Fall made motherhood possible. Before the Fall: No children No growth No real choice After the Fall: Families Learning Agency Joy through experience Pain does not mean failure. It means you are living mortal life the way God designed it. Key Teaching Moments 1️⃣ The Fall Made Motherhood Possible God knew Adam and Eve would partake and He allowed it. Just like us as mothers: We guide. We teach. But we don’t control every choice because growth requires agency. There is beauty in learning, even when it’s messy. 2️⃣ Opposition Is Evidence of Progress Satan didn’t show up until Adam and Eve chose growth. If you feel: Tired Stretched Unsure Those are not signs you’re failing. They’re signs you’re becoming. 3️⃣ Jesus Was the Plan from the Beginning Genesis 3:14–15 contains the first promise of Christ. Adam and Eve rejoiced after the Fall not because life was easy, but because hope was guaranteed. Their joy came from knowing: Jesus was already coming. 4️⃣ God Clothes Us When We Feel Exposed Adam and Eve tried to cover themselves with fig leaves. God lovingly clothed them with skins. For moms: When you feel inadequate, ashamed, or exposed God doesn’t scold you. He covers you with grace. Even then, sacrifice preceded covering pointing us directly to Jesus Christ. 5️⃣ Sacrifice Is About the Heart Abel offered willingly. Cain offered resentfully. God doesn’t want burned out obedience. He wants willing hearts even when the offering feels small. 🧒 How to Teach This to Your Kids (Simple & Safe) “Adam and Eve chose learning instead of staying comfortable.” “Jesus helps us when we make mistakes.” “Hard things help us grow.” “We can always pray when we feel far from God.” “God knew families would be hard—and He planned help.” 👉 Ask your kids: “Can you think of a time something hard helped you grow?” And make up Scenarios where kids can practice making mistakes or opportunities for growth and ask them if they think God won't love them anymore. Have your examples be age appropriate. Some examples: cheating on a test Pushing a sibling Saying unkind words 📜 7 Key Scriptures for This Week (KJV) Moses 5:11 – Joy came because of the Fall 2 Nephi 2:25 – “Men are, that they might have joy” Moses 4:4 – Agency protected by Christ Genesis 3:15 – The promise of a Savior Moses 5:8 – Doing all things in the name of the Son Mosiah 3:19 – Becoming saints through Christ 2 Nephi 2:27 – We are free to choose 🎙️ General Conference Insights Dale G. Renlund “Our Heavenly Father’s goal is not to have His children do what is right; it is to have His children choose to do what is right and ultimately become like Him.” 🩷 Mom takeaway: God is forming you not grading you. Dallin H. Oaks “Opposition is not only a part of life—it is essential to the plan of salvation.” 🩷 Mom takeaway: Struggle doesn’t disqualify you it confirms the plan. Final Encouragement for Moms God wants you to return home. You chose to come here. You said yes to hard things. You trusted the plan and the Savior. So don’t run from God. Run to Him. Run toward grace. Run toward faith. Run toward redemption. You are never too far gone for the reach of your Father in Heaven and His glorious Son, Jesus Christ. Thank...
