Why I'm Not Sharing My Son's Face Online Anymore Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

This decision has been a year in the making, something God has been stirring within me for awhile. I'd invite you to listen in as I share why we (my husband and I) made this decision and the reasoning behind it. Please know that this is not my attempt at telling you what to do with your family or social media, but simply a call to give you an inside look into our personal life and an invitation to use wisdom in your own life.
