The Idol of Control: Time and Self-Reliance

About this episode

Emily Brown discusses the pressures of homeschooling and the transition from control to stewardship.

As a homeschool mom it can feel like everything in your home rests on your shoulders. The meals. The lessons. The messes. The schedule. The spiritual atmosphere. It's easy to slip into the belief that if you don't manage everything perfectly, it will all fall apart. In this week's episode, I'm sharing a gentle invitation for the homeschool mom who feels stretched thin and responsible for everything. I'm talking about what it looks like to move from pressure and self-reliance into peace and true stewardship of what the Lord gives you, including the work He is asking you to do. If you've been craving more calm… More clarity… More connection with God in the middle of your very full days… Then grab your earbuds and let's talk about: The Idol of Control: Time and Self-Reliance.
