Balancing motherhood, career and identity through various seasons in our life may be one of the biggest challenges we face as women. This week's podcast guest, Kat Armstrong, guides us through a biblical framework for answering some of the key questions surrounding our calling in Christ and our assignments in life.

Whether you are a career mom, a stay-at-home mom or somewhere in the middle like me, I hope this episode encourages and equips you for your current season and those to come.

What we chat about:

Navigating the challenges of motherhood, career and identity

The difference between calling and assignment

We have different limitations and constraints on our lives and that’s healthy

Evaluating whether your family is flourishing in your current assignments

Focusing on our strengths and finding an outlet for them instead of working on our weaknesses

Is there a biblical imperative to stay home with your kids?

The importance of investing in the local church and pouring our lives out for others
