How to Live Without Fear in a Broken World

This wasn’t the episode I had planned for this week, but it’s been so heavy on my heart that I knew I had to share.
As moms, we’re surrounded by tragedy and fear every time we open our phones. It’s easy to feel paralyzed by anxiety, wondering how we can raise children in such a scary world. In this episode, I’m sharing my own struggles, what has helped me cope, and how I choose faith over fear as I parent my little ones.
We can’t control the world our kids are growing up in, but we can give them hope, peace, and the foundation of knowing Jesus.
