Episode 104.5 // Friday Faith Followup

It can sometimes be a lot easier to pour our love, energy, and effort into our kids rather than taking time to care for ourselves. Parenting is work! It calls us to step up and put our children’s needs above our own.

But parenting is hard. Life can be discouraging. And as we seek to be biblically grounded parents, teaching our children how to follow Jesus (along with everything else!) we can struggle with the weight of the brokenness in the world.

hugs & blessings,

Jess
