I truly cannot tell you how grateful I am for this conversation. If you’ve ever wondered, Have I ruined my child? Have I blown it beyond repair? Is there hope for us? — this conversation is for you.

Blair doesn’t offer quick fixes. She offers something better: the gospel. Not as a cliché. Not as a spiritual band-aid. But as the deep, steady, soul-anchoring hope that meets us in our worst moments as mothers.We talk about discipline and shame. About fear-based parenting. About self-harm and self-deprecating language. About anxiety and postpartum struggle. About pride, repair, repentance, and what it actually looks like to model the gospel in our homes.

And maybe most importantly—we talk about hope that outlasts even our worst days.

Key Takeaways

• The gospel isn’t just what saved you — it’s what sustains you in motherhood.
• God does not discipline us the way fear tells us He does.
• Parenting often exposes the places we’re not trusting the Lord.
• Repair is powerful. Confession models real Christianity.
• Humility in leadership isn’t weakness — it’s Christlikeness.
• Community is not optional when you’re struggling.
• Asking for help is not failure.
• Mental health struggles do not mean God has abandoned you.
• Even if repair doesn’t happen the way you hope, the story isn’t over.
• The resurrection guarantees that nothing is beyond redemption.
