Mom Guilt is real. And we hate it. So why do we judge one another so harshly? Who are you to judge? Who am I? Doesn’t God say, “Do not judge or you also will be judged?” Discernment is a spiritual gift… a gift that we want our daughters to possess. So, are discernment and judging different? This can be a complicated topic. Today we’re going to overcome the comparison trap with author Shannon Popkin.

Here is where you can find Shannon and get a copy of “Kinda Judgy” for yourself.

Have you ever heard of Elisabeth Elliot? She was a missionary whose husband was murdered by the people they were trying to reach. And she had the strength to go back with her young daughter, forgive her husband’s killers, and continue to share the love of Christ.

Elisabeth is also well known for—and critiqued for—her book Passion and Purity. It’s a book about bringing your love life under Christ’s control. Next week, her grand daughter Elisabeth Martin will join us to discuss her grandmother’s legacy.
