Summary
It's easy to think of things that are more fun than doing dishes or putting shoes back where they belong. But serving in motherhood often means sacrificing what we want in order to care for those around us in service to Christ. We know we're called to be living sacrifices, but what are we supposed to do when the "sacrifice" part is uncomfortable? In this episode, Emily and Laura examine another angle of being a living sacrifice: service. Working hard to serve others isn't an obstacle to fun or freedom. It's the pathway to joy in Christ.
