This episode was originally planned for Mother's Day, but in the uploading process, Christy accidentally uploaded the wrong audio. So we are trying again this week. Knowing we have a mothering God isn't just something we need on mother's day. It's something we need every day!
Christy acknowledges the pain that many people feel on Mother's Day from loss, heartache, disappointment, and frustration because of our mothers and children, or lack of mothers and children. Then Christy points to the feminine qualities of God as a mother pictured throughout Scripture. God wants to mother us and then in turn develop mothering characteristics within us so that we can mother others.
