Welcome to my latest series, LIES GOOD MOMS BELIEVE!
In today’s episode I am joined with Sarah Wood. She is a friend, writer, speaker and Editor-in-Chief of Mom Mentor. Together, we're tackling the lie: I have to be perfect or I am going to mess up my kids.
Our Momma hearts have a deep desire to do well and to be confident that we are, in fact, good moms who are doing a good job with our kids. We want to look back on our motherhood journey and know that we did what was pleasing to the Lord by raising little disciples who, ideally become adults living out their lives with kingdom purpose. So naturally, this is an area the enemy is going to attack because he knows if it is important to us, we can be found vulnerable.
You are going to love this conversation with Sarah. She and I dive into the real life struggles, the mom fails and the lessons we’ve learned so far in our motherhood journeys as it pertains to perfectionism.
Sarah will share how her experiences have helped her to grow as a mom and as a believer and offer you practical steps to encourage and get your started in silencing this lie and replace it with Truth about your identity, your mission and purpose.
Are you ready? I’m so grateful you are joining me today! Let’s dive in!
You can connect with Sarah through Instagram!

FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS:
It's not about perfectionism, it’s about control. We have to realize as moms that we are stewards, we’re not puppet masters. Because it’s God’s plan for their lives, not our plans for their lives.
We cannot impose our identity and self-worth on our children and their behavior. The minute we do that, it places this terrible millstone around their neck.
God is the perfect Father but look at His children.
SCRIPTURE:
2 Timothy 1:6-7
2 Timothy 3:3-6
REMINDER:
*Our children can be a process God teaches us, just as we teach them.
*Sometimes when we say no, that means we are a good mom.
*As moms we are cultivating character. It’s not about cultivating an image, it’s about cultivating character.
*God honors the prayers of a mother. It is something we do as warriors.
*We are constantly standing in the way in between the enemy’s pursuit of our kids and God’s plan for their life.
STEPS we can walk out:
Lies are not only meant to discourage, they are meant to distract and take you off course.
