“Motherhood is the ministry of showing up.”
- Connie Albers
If we make it merely about cooking meals, getting kids to sleep, shuffling kids in carpool and managing sibling fights, we can lose our joy and focus. But if we remember that parenting is our mission field and the ministry in motherhood, our lives as parents can be transformed.
Connie also offers practice listening to learn, dealing with the tongue, noticing our children's strengths and building lifelong relationships with our kids.
If you are a parent, this interview has something for you. Once you listen, let us know what advice helped you most.

‘RENEW YOU’ SHOW NOTES:
Host Quinn Kelly highlights Romans 12:2 thinking by helping readers reflect on this thought:
The WORLD says this: When you mess up as a parent, you don't get a second chance. You have to know the right thing to do.
But God’s WORD says this: God gives us the wisdom we need even as we sleep.
“God always answers, one way or another, even when people don’t recognize his presence. “In a dream, for instance, a vision at night, when men and women are deep in sleep, fast asleep in their beds—God opens their ears and impresses them with warnings to turn them back from something bad they’re planning, from some reckless choice, and keep them from an early grave; from the river of no return.” - Job 33:14-18 (MSG)
