Looking Above Episode 36 - Dear Younger Me...What I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Mom

In this episode, Karen and Brooklyn discuss parenting.  Parenting might just be the most difficult job we've ever had. Okay, it is for sure the most difficult job we've ever had.  But it is truly such a blessing! If you're a parent, or hope to be a parent, or struggling because you are not yet a parent, listen to the podcast, and then grab a friend and discuss!

1. If you're a parent, talk for a few minutes about your kids (they're ages, stages, personalities).
2. Talk for a few minutes about your parents.  What did you like about how they parented?  What will you do differently?
3. If you're a parent, what is the most rewarding aspect of parenting for you?  What is your biggest struggle?
4. What advice have you read or learned from others that you appreciate?
5. Do you excel at giving grace to your kids and yourself, or is it a struggle?  How can you remember to have grace?
6. If you aren't a parent yet, what is one thing that Brooklyn or Karen shared that you'd like to remember when you become a parent?
7. Do you struggle to trust God daily?  How can you grow in this aspect of your faith journey (so that as a parent, now or in the future, you are better able to rely on His wisdom)?
8. What has God's love for you looked like?  How can you apply that same type of love to parenting?d
