Raising kids is a high calling, but not an easy one. As parents, we’re often racked with fear for our children. If we’re not careful, these anxieties can consume us.
In this new six-minute roundtable, three women in different seasons of motherhood—Noël Piper, Kathleen Nielson, and Gloria Furman—talk about how they fight their own fears. Furman discusses the encouragement she receives from dwelling on Jesus and the role older women play in her life as a young mom. Piper reflects the ways prayer helped her push back the fear she felt when her kids left home as adults. Nielson shares how vital it is to have the gospel motivate her heart, rather than her own desires.
