Summary
Who saw all that you’ve done today? Anyone? A mom’s work usually goes unacknowledged. We want to measure our work by how the house looks or how the children behave, or by how put together we look when we go out. But my guest this week, Ann Voskamp, invites us to prioritize the unseen. She dares us to prioritize things like the riches of Christ, the promise of an eternity in his presence that is “utterly and completely fulfilling,” and our relationships with those around us. She helps us see the value in “signpost” parenting - not overly concerned with outcomes we cannot control, but deeply committed to continually pointing our kids to Christ and the sufficiency of His great love for us.
Ann is a mom to 7, farmer’s wife and author of several books including her newest, Your Brave Song: An Inspirational Children’s Picture Book That Shows How Faith in Jesus Can Help Kids Overcome Fear, Worry, and Anxiety.

| 0:22.2 | It's been a long time coming and Voss Camp is joining us on the show for episode 394. |
| 0:29.5 | So there's always this sense of if I'm doing a good job, you should be able to see this |
| 0:34.4 | when you walk through the door. |
| 0:36.0 | But if my priorities are on things I'm saying, I am not focused on temporal things, I'm |
| 0:39.7 | focused on eternal things, and I'm focused on relational things. |
| 0:44.4 | Which you aren't going to be able to see that when you come in the front door. |
