from FamilyLife Today® · host FamilyLife Network

You love your kids. But some days you lose it, replay it, and carry the weight. Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, authors of Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments, meet you smack dab in the middle of your mess, not the highlight reel. They challenge the suffocating pressure to be the “ideal mom” and point to something far sturdier when your guilt, comparison, and chaos are hitting home.
