Summary
Moms are no strangers to worry. We daily consider the possibility of danger, hurt feelings, or stressful situations. We turn hypothetical situations around in our heads, trying to find solutions, but it feels like everything is just beyond our control. And so we worry. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss how the gospel changes our worry. As moms in a broken world, we know we're going to ask ourselves, "What if?" and, "What then?" But what do we do when we start to dwell on those questions? We train our minds with the promises of God found in Christ. As our trust in God's care deepens, our worry can become worship.
Oh and ps: We're having our fall fundraiser through Friday! Instead of ordering pizza for dinner this week, consider giving $25 to help 19 women hear the gospel.
We're grateful to Harvest House for making this week's show possible. Looking for a new resource for your kiddos? Check out the Baby Believer board books, Love Made, or Bible Infographics for Kids!
