Summary

As moms, our greatest hope is that our children come to know and love Jesus, developing a deep relationship with the one true God as they mature. And we know that the best way we can impart our faith on our children is nurture, teach, model and encourage them in Biblical truths as we live out the gospel in our daily life. But often, that desire is so great, we inadvertently bear the burden of their eternal future on our shoulders, drowning us in guilt, fear and false responsibility. In this episode, Emily and Laura discuss the common pitfalls in trying to "secure" our children's faith, and explain how moms can trust God with our children as we continue to be faithful to out the redemption story in our everyday life.

0:09.8	like the worst mom on the planet, which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel
0:14.9	to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So, mama, whether

0:44.4	Laura Whiffler. Hey guys. Yeah, so before we jump into our topic this morning, we just had a couple
0:51.2	of housekeeping things we wanted to chat about. We've had a couple of compliments lately on our
0:57.9	beautiful website, but we know that some of that is due to the fact that we've got gorgeous pictures

1:33.3	wanted to mention really quick is just what our show notes are. Did you guys know that we post a
