About this episode

Pastor Heath Lambert discusses the challenges of praising mothers on Mother's Day and offers biblical guidance on how to appreciate them.

Why is it hard to praise moms? In this Mother's Day message from Proverbs 31, Pastor Heath Lambert addresses the reasons Mother's Day can be difficult — women wanting to be moms but aren't, people grieving great moms who've died, or people remembering bad moms who brought pain — but focuses on the most common reason: we're selfish and ungrateful, taking for granted the wonderful gift of our mothers. Discover three biblical directives: praise your mom for her compassion in works and words; praise her hard work, both seen and unseen; and praise her godliness because a mom who loves God is one of the most precious gifts in the world.
