Ep 1144 | The Theological Errors of Gentle Parenting | Guest: Abbie Halberstadt

Today, we sit down with Abbie Halberstadt, author and host of the "M Is for Mama Podcast," to discuss motherhood and parenting. She shares her motherhood journey with 10 children, including two sets of twins with the same birthday, and offers faith-based parenting advice on navigating the mental and emotional challenges of postpartum motherhood. We also discuss the differences between gentle parenting and godly parenting and the best way to honor God for your children. Abbie also explains how parents can embrace the difference between hard and bad and how families can equip themselves to thrive even in the hard seasons.
