Have you ever felt like God has given you more than you can handle? If you have, know that you're not alone. This journey we're on, as mothers trying to raise our children up in the faith, isn't easy. We encounter challenges frequently - daily even. 

Come join Aprylle & Ruby as they discuss suffering from a motherhood point of view, and even though it may be contrary to what the world is telling you is "right", God has equipped you for this journey, and is always with you. 

And keep an ear out for episodes all throughout Lent where they'll get vulnerable and real about the challenging aspects of motherhood.
