Have you’ve ever felt pulled in a thousand directions? This episode will meet you right in that swirl of motherhood. Abbey Wedgeworth, author, mom, and teacher, joins us to share real-life encouragement for parenting with intention—even in the middle of grocery lists, sibling arguments, and mental overload.
She introduces her “Three to Five Method”—a refreshingly simple way for busy moms to root themselves in Scripture. This isn’t another to-do list item. It’s a quiet invitation to recalibrate your soul in the Word, even when time and energy feel scarce.
We also talk about raising children with a heart-first approach—moving beyond just correcting behavior and instead nurturing wisdom, empathy, and emotional fluency. Abbey gives practical tools for discipling kids, resolving sibling conflict, and using everyday moments (yes, even the chaotic ones) to speak life and truth into your children.
Most importantly, she reminds us that you don’t have to do this alone. Parenting is sacred work, and the Holy Spirit is your constant, faithful companion.
