## Resource

Are you secretly afraid you've already messed up your kids? Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms of the Bible , sits down with Jen to unpack why Christian moms carry so much guilt — and what God actually says about flawed, broken, faithful motherhood. Spoiler: He didn't just tolerate your mess. He chose it. From Rebecca's manipulation to Jochebed's terrifying faith, Rhonda walks us through real biblical women who were imperfect, afraid, and still used by God to shape history. In this episode:✔ Why mom guilt is a spiritual attack — not just a feeling✔ The dangerous "perfect mom" image God never asked you to live up to✔ What Rebecca's story teaches us about unchecked imagination in parenting✔ How your trials are forming your children's faith (even when it's hard)✔ Jochebed's radical act of letting go — and what it means for you today✔ Why prayerlessness is sinning against your children ✔ The one question every Christian mom needs to ask: Am I raising them for God's glory — or mine? "God called us to this ministry of motherhood. He calls broken people to do extraordinary things through our ordinary lives." — Rhonda Stoppe 📖 Get Rhonda's book: Moms of the Bible → https://www.rhondastoppe.com/moms-of-the-bible-book/ 🌐 PODCAST: https://www.OldLadiesKnowStuff.com -------------------------------------------------------------- ☕ New here?
