Something bad happens when we lose sight of our highest calling as moms.
Great joy is found in motherhood, yet we also all experience the feeling that the walls are closing in. We look at our kids and wonder how we’ll help them find their own faith, stop feeling entitled, learn to be grateful and do something with the life and resources they’ve been given. We start comparing what we have (or don’t) and get too easily wrapped up in our kid’s problems, friend’s problems, and neighborhood problems.
God does call us to be great moms, wives, and friends. We’re responsible for what happens inside the four walls of our home. But our home, our families, are just part of our higher calling of bringing God's Kingdom to earth, to make it "on earth as it is in heaven."
And when we say “yes” to that higher calling, amazing things happen — not just for our world, but within our homes. We find perspective and purpose that brings joy and meaning to what can sometimes be mundane. We expose and invite our kids into something more in a way that brings them joy and gratitude. And we get to live life as an active part of healing and restoring the world around us instead of judging others or insulating ourselves from its problems.

ABOUT ELISABETH
FOUNDER/CEO & MOM OF THREE...
I'm Elisabeth Jordan, and I started walking the streets of Dallas’ poorest neighborhood in 2013. I went at the invitation of a man named Larry James, who led a Dallas nonprofit for over two decades. He told me he was spending time getting to know his “neighbors” before his nonprofit opened a new resource center.
I said yes to showing up, and stepped way out of my comfort zone to encounter people I had stereotyped and judged—people experiencing homelessness.
ABOUT ELISABETH
FOUNDER/CEO & MOM OF THREE...
I'm Elisabeth Jordan, and I started walking the streets of Dallas’ poorest neighborhood in 2013. I went at the invitation of a man named Larry James, who led a Dallas nonprofit for over two decades. He told me he was spending time getting to know his “neighbors” before his nonprofit opened a new resource center.
I said yes to showing up, and stepped way out of my comfort zone to encounter people I had stereotyped and judged—people experiencing homelessness. I went to help, save, and fix the homeless, but quickly learned that since I wasn't raised in poverty and had never experienced homelessness, my perception of why people were homeless and how to help them, were projections.
So I set my stereotypes down to listen and learn. The men and women on the streets became friends and teachers. I perceived I had as much - or more - to grow in as they did, and as true friendships formed, that we had gifts to offer each other.
The Human Impact, the nonprofit I founded and lead, was born from this journey, and two years into this work, I had my first child. All of my kids have been born while doing this work, and I long for other moms to join me - both in Dallas and other places - so I've created a curriculum as a first way of inviting other moms and families in. It's called Moms Change the World.
I'd love to have you on this journey with me. Perhaps for you it feels a bit like showing up on the streets did for me — a step outside your comfort zone. I believe on the other side of such risk and courage is more life and joy, both for you and your family.

Togetherness is much of how I mother my three (almost four) children - including them and involving them in all aspects of everyday life. This is why it's so seamless for us to serve our friends with The Human Impact or Gateway of Grace. These ministries are all about the "ministry of presence" - being there with people. Whether it's walking the streets with Elisabeth or sharing a meal with refugee families, we are "doing life together". And as we do this, we are impacted as an entire family - our perspectives change, our attitudes soften, and our love grows.

"When I think about our decision to adopt I know that the positives far outweigh the challenges, but I would be remiss not to acknowledge both.
My biological children have a deep love for their adopted sisters and a ferocious protective nature around the girls, but have had struggles of their own due to a loss of place in the family and our being stretched thin. As parents the Lord has shown us our dependency on him in every phase of the process from fighting to get Ruth and Dorcas out of the DRC to the present, now 10 years post, as they wrestle and deal with the impact of the trauma of their experiences and thus now we are walking through that and how to stay connected to them. God calls us to the vulnerable, I believe to see every human adult or child as one of his and also to deepen our reliance on him as we do just that, for it is supernatural."
Megan Carpenter
"Caring for the chronically homeless has brought me face to face with lives both different from my own and familiar to my own. In sitting with the vulnerable, I encounter God in places shaped by trauma, loss, and profound resilience - all of which I can relate to. As a mom, it’s important to me that my children experience the humanity of people experiencing homelessness up close, not as a problem to fix but as friends with names and stories. And I've witnessed the impact to my children in how they lean into compassion and how they pray for the vulnerable from a place of lived experience rather than from distant observation."
Marron Moore
"Caring for the vulnerable has impacted my family and me in countless, intangible ways, most notably by giving my children a genuine heart for others in vulnerable situations. They see people experiencing homelessness as everyday people rather than someone to fear or avoid, and they are comfortable speaking with and helping them. For me personally, being in close proximity to the vulnerable has made me even more aware that some people are dealt a far more difficult hand despite their best efforts, and if my hand has a few more aces, it isn’t because I deserve them—it’s so I can use them to help others."
April Taylor
"Spending time with people who are living under different circumstances than us exposes our own vulnerability and desperate need for God. Very quickly, you realize your personal need to cry out for His help, receive His love and forgiveness, listen to His voice, and follow His Spirit. These friendships have given our family a greater revelation of The Lord, as He uses His Body in more vulnerable or drastic circumstances than ours to encourage us, and shape our faith and love for Him."
