An Encouragement for Young Mothers to Parent by Faith Not Feelings (with Practical Examples)

→ Prayer Calendar

There are moments in motherhood when emotions feel louder than everything else. Your child is overwhelmed, you’re overwhelmed, and it can feel like the only thing to do is react to whatever is happening in the moment. But what if feelings were never meant to lead in the first place?

Instead of ignoring feelings or being controlled by them, we're inviting mothers to see them as something deeper: a window into your heart's need for God. This episode walks through how to help children process emotions in a way that leads to truth, not confusion. It’s not about behavior management, but heart transformation for both the child and the parent.
