I am so excited to announce a brand new blog series to you! This series has been in the works for over a year, but it took a bit of a back seat during the Come to Jesus launch.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, May seems like the perfect time to launch this brand new series entitled Lies Moms Believe. This series is a compilation of articles written by 5 moms—three are in the thick of parenting littles and two are in the “grandparent stage” of motherhood. I really wanted to have a mix of generational voices in this series so that it would be a help to moms of all ages. Plus, as a young mama, I need to have older moms sharing their experience and the wisdom God has given them over their 30+ years of parenting!

What Lies Will We Cover?

Here’s a list of the lies that will be covered throughout this series:

• My child is the best. (by Gretchen Fant)
• I don’t have time to be in God’s Word. (by Christa Threlfall)
• My children owe me. (by Denise Cunningham)
• I can’t admit faults to my kids because they won’t respect me. (by Abbey Wedgeworth)
• My children are too young to understand the Bible. (by Christa Threlfall)
• I don’t have time to serve my husband. (by Lauren Washer)
• My child will never lie to me. (by Gretchen Fant)
• I have to be the best. (by Angela Jeffcott)
• I need to resolve my child’s conflicts. (by Gretchen Fant)
• Theology is not for Moms. (by Christa Threlfall)
• My life is over when my children leave home.(by Gretchen Fant)
• If I parent correctly, my children will turn out well. (by Gretchen Fant)
• I need to have it all together. (by Christa Threlfall)
• I’ve always been angry. That’s just the way I am. (by Angela Jeffcott)
• I’ll never be a good enough Mom. (by Christa Threlfall)

Do you struggle with any of those lies? I know I do! I am so excited to learn along with you during this series!

When will the series begin?

Monday, May 12! One lie/truth will post each Monday and I’ll link them all back here so you have easy access to all the posts in one spot.
