As the pressures of taking care of our families and the many other responsibilities we moms have piled on us, our best defense against burn out is God. With this in mind, I have put together a list of encouraging Bible studies for moms and tried to categorize them so you can easily find the best fit for you.
The best way for us to be “good” moms is to stay grounded in our faith and seek out the truth God has provided for us in His word. Have you ever heard the expression, “you can’t pour from an empty cup”? That cup only becomes empty when we struggle to parent on our own. Fill your cup with Christ and watch your family grow.

Bible Study for Busy Moms
Bible study for busy moms is kind of a misleading heading because show me a mom who is NOT busy. Right?! Both of these Bible studies are meant to be used during short periods of time throughout your day. First thing in the morning, during nap time, while you are feeding the baby or sitting in the car waiting to pick up your kids from school and activities.
Often times we want to reserve a big chunk of time for God in our day, but the truth is, God wants to connect with us many times throughout the day.
●Like-Minded Musings has wonderful free Bible studies called “Moms Pocket” studies referring to the short pockets of time throughout our day where we can pause for a moment and reflect on God.
First 5 App is designed for 5 to 15 minute Bible reading and devotions to help you start your day in God’s word.
Bible Study for Working Moms
These Bible studies for working moms are also meant to be short. They are perfect for connecting with God on your drive to work, lunch break, or as you unwind at the end of the day.

Bible Studies for Moms and Daughters
As parents, it is our responsibility to teach our children about God. This responsibility takes many faces from teaching them how to pray, encouraging them in God’s love, and preparing them to face a fallen world.
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (Deuteronomy 11:18-19)
These Bible studies for moms and daughters give an opportunity to not only teach God’s word, but to foster your relationship.
- Just Mom and Me Having Tea is a delightful devotional for moms and daughters intended to bring you closer together and closer to God.
- Rachel and Leah- Teen Girl’s Bible Study Book What Two Sisters Teach Us about Combatting Comparison. Doesn’t the title alone make you want to go out and grab a copy? I know many women (raising my hand here!) who struggle with comparison. Let’s help our daughters develop godly thoughts on the topic before the insecurities set in.
- We Saved You a Seat by Lisa Jo Baker has two books, one for teen girls and one for women about learning to cultivate godly friendships. You can read the teen one together or each read your own and discuss them.
