“As a parent it is easy to feel like we are getting it all wrong, all the time. There are no perfect moms, there’s just moms who need Jesus. And there’s grace for us here.” The enemy would love for us and our kids to constantly compare ourselves to others and neglect our true identities that are found in Christ. Today Shannon Popkin and Lee Nienhuis return to the podcast to share about their soon to release book, “Comparison Girl for Teens”. They remind us of a better way, the Jesus way, to live and see others. There is so much more joy and freedom found in His way.  The Moms in Prayer Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
