Today, Abbie Halberstadt joins us to discuss her new book, "You Bet Your Stretch Marks," which redefines motherhood as a gospel-reflecting gift, not a burden. We will address the controversial trends circulating on social media that highlight an emerging fear of childbirth along with the dissatisfaction of young women not wanting their bodies to change after giving birth. Join us to champion biblical motherhood and stand bold for truth in a culture desperate for Christ's clarity.
