Real-Life Christian Motherhood

6

Have you ever thought, I am a bad mom, or I hate motherhood?

Do you ever feel discouraged by how unappreciated you feel as a mother, despite how hard you work to care for your family?

As Christian mothers, we believe in God's love, grace, and forgiveness toward us, but when it comes to raising our kids, we oftentimes find ourselves weighed down by guilt, shame, and discouragement. It's almost as if we believe God is generally gracious toward us but not when it comes to our motherhood.

In Real-Life Christian Motherhood, Cas seeks to show how God's grace and Christ's cross perfectly destroy the lies of

mom guilt and mom shame (while exposing the difference between them),

perfectionism in motherhood,

the tendency to carry our families entirely on our shoulders, and

how you are never allowed a break, a breakdown, or a weak moment as a Christian mother.

Cas's biblically anchored and no-nonsense reasoning encourages us to shift our perspective away from these common motherhood fallacies so we can begin to view our motherhood the way God does: as a lovingly difficult challenge meant to deepen our love for Him, change us, and in so doing, set us free.
