Nancy DeMas Walgamuth explains that when your daughter sins, you need to look at the lie she might be believing.

So this sin, this behavioral issue, is a symptom of something going on in the heart.

And the mom's desire is to find out what needs to be exposed, what needs to be brought to the light, what needs to be

there's one thing every single mother needs to know about her daughter's emotions in order

to be able to tell the difference. So is your daughter's emotional response to life a healthy one,

or is it a sign that something's wrong? Today on Revive Our Hearts, we're going to look at a

practical tool to help you know the difference. And in the pages of Lies, Girls Believe,
