Summary
Dealing with differences can be hard. How do we engage with others who have very different life experiences, beliefs, or preferences than we do? How do we guide our children as they encounter these same challenges? In this episode, Emily and Laura invite four women to share how the truth that we're all made in the image of God, or Imago Dei, impacts their motherhood and relationships. While it's okay to be aware of our differences, the gospel reminds us that we're all the same in one fundamentally important way—we're created in the image of God. So whether we share many things in common or seemingly nothing at all, we can love our neighbors as God has loved us.
We're grateful to The Good Book Company for making this week's show possible. Check out their bestselling children's book, The Garden, The Curtain, and The Cross.
