A Helpful Parenting Resource: 5 Myths About Parenting
Parenting is both a joy and a challenge! God has entrusted many of us with the incredible gift of raising children, but it’s not always easy to sort through all the voices and advice around us. In the midst of the noise, we need to be reminded that God’s Word is our ultimate guide and that his grace is sufficient for every season of parenting. We wanted to share this helpful resource from Crossway: 5 Myths About Parenting.
Take a few minutes to read, reflect, and maybe even share it with a friend who could use some encouragement today.
