It\u2019s easy to put your worth in your children\u2019s failures and successes. In this week\u2019s episode, Kathi and guest, Erin MacPherson, author of the\xa0Christian Mama\u2019s Guide\xa0series, discuss being a part of the\xa0Bad\xa0Moms\xa0Club. While most moms are striving to be the best mom she can be, she is usually riddled with doubt, guilt and worry. If this sounds like you, take heart, you aren\u2019t alone.\xa0

Kathi and Erin discuss ways to get through this journey of motherhood from birth through young adulthood. Some of the highlights include:

  • \u201cDon\u2019t judge your parenting on one bad day!\u201d- One bad day doesn\u2019t undo all that parenting that you\u2019ve poured into your kid/s.
  • \u201cFind your people that will still be a fan of your kid even when he/she doesn\u2019t make the best decision.\u201d-\xa0When our child has royally messed up, there is something about another adult who you admire seeing something besides \u201cfuture adult delinquent\u201d in your child that will give you hope.
  • \u201cDon\u2019t put your faith in the sheep, put it in the Shepherd.\u201d- \xa0We base the outcome of\xa0our\xa0lives on the actions of our children. Wrong. Our hope is\xa0only\xa0in God.
