A Rebellion Against Mediocre Motherhood, with Abbie Halberstadt

Embracing the beautiful, hard work of Motherhood.

I am so excited to share this encouraging (and perhaps convicting – in the best sort of way –) conversation with you!  Abbie Halberstadt believes that Christ has so much more to offer you and your family than the empty validation of fist bumps for surviving another day that wordly culture bring to the table. Her book, M is for Mama: A Rebellion Against Mediocre Motherhood, resonated with me deeply, and I am so glad I get to shrae her with all of you!

Raising, and homeschooling her ten kids (including two sets of identical twins—and that’s a story of its own!) Abbie has hard-earned wisdom to share. She’s also very real, and very funny! Find links to Abbie’s book and listen below!
