Ep. 166: Parenting Competition, Comparison, & Expertise
Today, we are unpacking the immanent and unhealthy social media culture of competition and comparison and the ‘Momfluencer’ movement. There is a growing norm of learning how to parent from so-called “experts” on social media. As always, Kelly & Chelsea evaluate this through the lens of Scripture. If we start with God’s word, how do we love our fellow parents in Christ and neighbors in light of the online comparison and parenting expertise culture?
