Confident Parenting: A Journey to Eliminate 'Mom Guilt' by Uncovering Your Parenting Style | Alli Worthington
Being a mom in today’s world is tough. With social pressure leading to that dreaded mom guilt, the comparison we can encounter daily is stealing our happiness in our mothering roles. Approaching motherhood with a preset idea of how parenting should look is taking our eyes off of our unique role as a mom and our own mental, spiritual, and physical health can suffer as a result. On top of comparison, we can easily lose our own unique identities while taking on our mothering roles, which can lead to yet more “mom guilt.” Our guest today, Alli Worthington, author of the book, Remaining You While Raising Them: The Secret Art of Confident Motherhood, is here to empower us to not abandon who we are as individuals when mothering our children. She is going to help us get back to a healthier “mom mindset,” so we can confidently parent without comparison.

Why God Uses Imperfect People | Max Lucado
Do you know that God uses imperfect people to do great things? Do you ever feel like you are disqualified from God’s love because you have messed up again? Or because your past feels so tainted that God couldn’t possibly love you or use you in His perfect Salvation story? Well, lucky for us, He is the God of second chances and new beginnings. His grace does not quit because we feel unworthy to accept it. Here today to delve deeper into this truth is Max Lucado, whose newly released book, God Never Gives Up on You, encourages believers that if your breakdowns outnumber your breakthroughs, you are in the right place for an encounter with God. Max highlights the Old Testament story of Jacob to reveal a redeeming God that is still the same today.
