Episode 51: “Not the Mom with the Chickens”: Stewarding the Story You Have with Laura Wifler


Listen Later

How would the narrative of your life, your pain, and your identity change if you started telling your story as if God intended it specifically for YOU? (Spoiler: he did!) Laura Wifler, who is raising a daughter with disabilities, shares how a conscious shift to gospel-thinking is transforming her experience of suffering.

What We’ll Cover

  • Choosing stewardship instead of balance when schedules feel too full

  • Cultivating “compassion paired with dignity” for hurting people

  • Living out the motto “my life is yours”

  • If you need renewed energy to join God in co-authoring the story of your life with trust, gratitude, and curiosity, this episode is for you.

She has authored multiple bestselling, award-winning books for children, including, "Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer," and "Like Me," and is the co-author of the Risen Motherhood book.
