Summary

We’re all navigating decisions for our families in a world that feels louder and more opinionated than ever. But your standard isn’t someone else’s story—it’s Christ. The best choices for your home are shaped by God’s Word, by prayer, and by the unity you and your husband seek before the Lord. This encouragement is for the young mama in the thick of it—and for the older woman who’s walked through those seasons and learned to lean on the Lord. It’s a call to seek wisdom, walk in grace, and trust that Jesus truly is enough. Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.
