As we shift into being the “older mom” in our circles, we can powerfully invest in those coming up behind us by remembering rightly, sharing freely of ourselves, and pointing to the Living Bread.

When waves of nostalgia hit, the gospel reminds us to hold the past both gratefully and realistically—and to fix our eyes on the hope yet to come.

Like any major transition, the letting-go years of motherhood are an opportunity to fix our identity in Christ, live for his glory, and continue investing in the work before us.

Through the ever-changing high school years, we can model to our teens a faith that is imperfect, yet dependent on a perfect Savior.

In the turning point of the middle school years, we can bring all our fears to the Lord and prayerfully depend on him in new and deeper ways.

When we wrestle with our deep care and desire to control outcomes for our older kids, we can put our hope in God—the Care-full Controller of all things.

While it can be difficult to get our kids to open up—especially as they hit the teen years—we can take practical steps now to help facilitate communication and build connection.

Far beyond our own words or wisdom, Scripture ultimately speaks for itself—so we can give our kids freedom and opportunity to engage with it personally.

The teenage years give us new opportunities to welcome our kids—and all their emerging changes—with the hospitality and humility of Christ.

The teen years are an opportunity for moms not to fall back in fear, but to press forward with hope as we preach and practice the gospel in each little moment.

When our questions and fears surrounding our kids’ use of social media overwhelm us, these five gospel principles can help provide peace and direction.

Instead of clinging to our children as they grow, we can gradually deliver them from dependence on mom to dependence on Christ.
