Summary

We all wonder if we meet the "good mom" standard. Do I feed them enough vegetables? Should I be the one reading the bedtime story? Do my kids behave? In this special episode, Emily and Laura ask the mother of all motherhood questions in front of a live audience: How do I know if I'm a good mom? Deep down, we all know we're not good enough on our own. But the good news of the gospel is that we have Christ's perfect record as our own, and God sees us as good in Jesus. So instead of looking at ourselves, let's look at Christ and ask the better question: Do I know and love the One who makes me good?
