We are constantly bombarded with tons of messages about mom life and it’s so confusing. Let’s tackle some mom life lies and shine a light on God’s truth. What does God say about our role as women, as wives, and as moms? What does God’s Word say about these motherhood myths? Press play and let’s combat lies together and instead embrace God’s truth for motherhood! This is Day 3 of this NEW MOTHERHOOD SERIES.
