Y’all, our world feels crazy and seems to get crazier by the year. Our children experience questions and come up against worldviews we never had to face at their age.

As much as I want to be an ostrich and bury my head in the sand, I refuse to do that to my girls. I want to be mentally tough in the Lord. I want to combat lies with truth. I don’t want to be apathetic or resigned, but strong and courageous because I know the truth that my God is good.

So, how do we become resilient and emotionally healthy moms? How can we raise brave and unshakable kids? What does it look like to stand firm and courageous in a world gone mad? 

I can think of no one better to speak about this than today’s guest, Lauren Gaines.

In today’s episode, you’ll receive practical strategies and anchoring truths for giving grace by taking your thoughts captive. You’ll learn:

• six ways to deescalate a negative thought,
• how to practically take thoughts captive in real-time,
• and seven lies moms can believe.
