Embracing Gospel-Centered Motherhood: Fi...

THE GIRL NAMED BLAKE
About this episode

Author and poet Laura Wifler joins Blake to dive into the complex yet liberating truths of motherhood through a gospel-centered lens. They discuss the challenges of striving for perfection while embracing the reality that God's grace covers our shortcomings. By rooting our identity in Christ rather than our daily successes or failures, we can parent from a place of freedom rather than fear. They also explore how spiritual disciplines and habits can ground us in truth and help us navigate the messiness of life with faith and confidence. This conversation serves as a reminder that God's power and presence equip us for the journey, even when life feels overwhelming.


In this episode, you'll be able to…


  • Understand how embracing the gospel can free you from the pressure of perfectionism in motherhood.
  • Learn the difference between spiritual disciplines and habits, and how they can nurture your faith and well-being.
  • Gain insights into balancing the realities of motherhood while finding freedom in Christ's grace.
