Summary

I have such a fun treat for you in this episode--a conversation with one of my favorite people in the whole world: my mama, Beth.

In this episode, we talk about why my parents felt the need to "be the change," to fight against generational sins, to pursue multigenerational investment, and to give me and my brother an opportunity to leave a completely different legacy for our own kids.

My mom inspires me with her knowledge of the Bible, her perseverance through hardship, her intelligent, analytical mind, her prayer life, and her heart of service to others.

I know you will be so challenged and encouraged by her straight-shooting, biblical wisdom. Enjoy!

Note: After doing a bit of digging, I couldn't find an exact quote for the John Dewey reference (other than the original Instagram post where I saw it, and that turned out to be a paraphrase as well).

Exodus 20:5 & Deuteronomy 5:9 & Numbers 14:18

Psalm 119:105

2 Corinthians 4:4

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the MS-Mama Podcast. I'm your host Abby Halberstadt, happy wife,
0:10.1	Mama 10 Bible Leaving Christian. And on today's show I have a very special treat for you and that is my mom, Beth.
0:18.4	She is here today to talk to you about what it looks like to have a generational view of
0:25.2	leaving a legacy of Christian heritage to our kids and our grandkids and beyond.
0:29.9	I'll be asking your questions so that you can hear her story in her own words, but I can just
0:35.2	personally attest having been raised by her and my brother would agree with me that she has
0:39.8	been such a good example of perseverance in doing good, just like Scripture talks about, of not
0:46.1	growing weary of doing good like we're always talking about in Galatian 6-9 and of investing in
0:51.5	her own children with a view of eternity, which is what we all want to do
0:56.1	and the goal that we should be striving for as Christians and specifically as moms and
1:02.0	grandmas. We call her softer, that's the Hebrew word for
1:05.6	grandmother and my family has always had a heart for Israel. We've actually lived
1:09.6	there two separate times and so she could tell you whole stories about that. I don't know if we'll have time to get into that today, but that's her grandma name and it is very fitting because she is a softy. She is the best softa for her 14 grandchildren. I have 10 and my brother who is my only
1:27.0	sibling has four little girls and they are just wild about their softa and they rave. Every time she pulls up in the driveway they start screaming their heads off soft is here like it's Christmas
1:36.9	and it happens twice a week at our house so you know that that is a good sign that you have a really good grandma.
1:43.7	So, hello, Saffa, welcome today.
1:46.7	Oh, thank you.
1:47.5	I'm so glad you decided that you were okay with doing this.
1:50.0	This is not my mom's favorite thing,
1:52.2	but I have been asked so many times for wisdom directly
1:56.5	from her mouth as I have talked in social media in my book about what a blessing it has
2:01.6	been to have her as my mom and what a blessing it is to have her as a soft as to my children.
