Are you struggling with what it means to show your child grace while still maintaining your God-given authority? Is first-time obedience even a thing to expect from your child? Is there any way to find purpose in parenting? What do I do if I feel like I've hit ROCK BOTTOM, not just in parenting, but in LIFE?
These are the questions I've battled with, and am still battling with in this on-going journey of parenthood, but thankfully, there are answers straight from scripture that help guide these oh-so-heavy topics we as parents are always circling in the boxing ring.
I'm so thrilled to introduce Emily J. Waits! Emily is an encourager, motivator, truth teller, life-long learner, former homeschooler, now homeschool parent, mom of twins and two more, wife, social media content creator, course creator, voracious reader, podcast aficionado, and the host of her very own podcast Howdy Mama.
We chatted through these questions, laughed at our own parenting, and dove into the heavy heart topics that most steer clear from: the struggles of miscarriage and what to do when you only want to escape from this life.
This is an episode I'm so proud to present to you guys. Emily's wisdom, insight, and clarity, her ability to consume information and give it back in ways that are simple and applicable, blow me away. As a former homeschooler she can also give you the peace of mind that you are in fact doing enough, and that God has given all of us the room to be life-long learners.
As always my prayer is that your lives are sanctified, your homes are edified, and Jesus is glorified.
-your host, Kristin Malphrus
