Faith & Abby Disagree… Again: Motherhood, Anger & What It Means to Live in Light of the Gospel

It’s been a challenging week for Abby, but in the middle of motherhood, big emotions, and unmet expectations, the Lord has been reminding her of what actually matters.

In this episode, Abby shares some of the things God has been teaching her lately: that the goal of motherhood isn’t well-behaved children or simply making it to the end of the day, but raising children who know Jesus and that our only true hope and satisfaction is found in Christ. 

Faith and Abby also talk about what it looks like to actually live connected to the Gospel in our ordinary, everyday lives, and how pursuing the fruit of the Spirit changes the way we respond to the people and circumstances around us.

And then… Faith and Abby disagree. Again. This time, they’re talking about anger: Is anger itself a sin? Where is the line between righteous anger, sinful anger, rage, and bitterness? And how much control do we actually have over our emotions?

It’s honest, a little tense, and ultimately a conversation about what it looks like to keep coming back to Christ in the middle of real life.
