How can I trust that the bible is true? What do you do when you’re doubting your faith? What does it look like when your kids come to you with hard questions regarding religion? These are actual questions that came up in an especially candid episode released today.

The messiness is dialed up to about an 11 on this one! We are just three moms struggling (mostly) well through this hard and honest conversation. We invite you to listen through to the end and pray through the parts that you find uncomfortable, keeping in mind that we are clearly not pursuing perfection over here.WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT: Huge thank you to the Strugg community for helping us grieve WELL Our three minute faith journeys  Kate’s full episode on feeling behind as a Christian When your spouse does not share faith with you What to do when your faith is rocked by hard questions Homosexuality in our lives and in the Bible What quiet time looks like in our real lives Seamless bible study Cultivate What Matters journals  New Morning Mercies devotional Streams in the Desert devotional  Paul’s Leather Company Em’s simple tip for modeling Bible reading for your children Mildliners highlighters The painful sound of YouTubers Cabaret mascara and primer Peter Thomas Roth moisturizer for your declot The overwhelming feelings that come with a new job Kate’s bad cholesterol and an upcoming visit to a magician  Rebecky’s suggestion to shop around for car insurance companies Tieks Understanding the Gorilla Glue mishap *Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.  CONNECT WITH REBECKY: website | instagram | patreon CONNECT WITH KATIE: instagram | website | patreon CONNECT WITH EMILY: website | instagram | facebook | patreon EPISODE SPONSORS: Birchbox Inc: Use code “MSW” for 50% off your first box when you subscribe for 3 monthsNuCalm: Click for 30-day subscription + their money back guaranteePlushCare: Click to start your free 30-day trialKiwiCo: Use promo code MSW for 30% off your first month + FREE shipping SHARE THE STRUGGLE!If you've been encouraged, share this episode with a friend.  The struggle is real.  We might as well do this together!
