Summary
On today’s show, Abbie and Abbey talk all things grace, mom guilt, and perseverance in motherhood.
In a world that can swing from extremes such as try-hard motherhood perfectionism to the “hot mess express” mom, finding our center on the truth of the completed work of Christ for us as moms can feel almost impossible.
I’m thankful for grounded voices like Abbey’s who help moms to discern Scripture rightly and remind them of their worth in Christ as well as the high calling they have received to raise up the next generation in the teaching and admonition of the Lord.
Be encouraged you are not in this fight alone. And no matter how much you may feel like you’re failing, know that Christ’s sacrifice is more than enough to cover any sin or shortcoming, and today is great day to start again.
