Episode Description

“God can redeem anything—our story, their story, and every mistake in between.”

Have I done enough?” If you’ve ever asked yourself that question as a mom, you’re not alone.

In this episode of Girl Talk, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia get real about parenting kids through faith, mistakes, and milestones. From sending a kid off to college, to trusting God with their spiritual walk, this conversation is full of encouragement for tired parents who wonder if they're making a difference.

The girls talk about surrender, the gift of community, and the reminder that God loves our kids even more than we do. He can redeem anything—our mistakes and theirs.

Pull up a chair, mama. You’ll leave feeling seen, understood, and reminded that you’re not in this alone.

Remember...

  • You’re not called to do God’s job. Our role is to point our kids to Jesus, but only He can stir their hearts.

  • Trust means surrender. Parenting is often a control battle, but real peace comes when we trust God completely with our children.

  • We need each other. Encouragement and mentorship from other women help us remember that we’re not alone!

You don’t have to carry this burden alone. Pray for your kids, trust the Lord with their future, and lean on your sisters in Christ for encouragement. And if you need prayer, we’d love to hear from you—email us at girltalk@thelightfm.org
