Feelings (or emotions): the internet is full of recommendations and tips about them. Within all the noise, there are some dangerous lies that young mothers can slip into if we're not careful. In this episode, we tackle some 7 of the most common lies about feelings and what Scripture says in response.

1. My feelings are right → Jeremiah 17:9, Ps. 139:23-24
2. My feelings are sinful → Ephesians 4:29
3. My feelings are my guide → Proverbs 3:5-6, Jonah
4. My feelings are unique to me → Hebrews 2:17, 4:14-16
5. I can't help the way I feel → Isaiah 26:3
6. You must affirm my feelings → Proverbs 11:14, 15:22
7. I don't have the qualifications to counsel my child in their feelings → Isaiah 9:6
