Elizabeth talks with Susan Seay about the real challenges of motherhood today—from social media pressure to unrealistic expectations. Susan shares wisdom from raising seven kids, reminding moms to depend on God daily, pursue authentic community, and embrace grace over perfection. She also introduces her new devotional designed to help moms connect with God in the middle of a busy life.

Main Topics: 
  • Faithfulness in motherhood requires community/a support system
  • Let go of perfection and live dependent on God’s grace
  • A few quiet moments with God can shift your whole day.
  • Comparison robs us of the opportunity to appreciate what God is doing in and through us.
  • Keep dreaming, God’s purpose for you is not limited to just motherhood. 
Reflection Question:
How has the content you regularly consume shaped your expectations of what faithful parenting should look like? Are those expectations realistic or unrealistic?
