I am a young wife and mom with a 1 year old daughter. I have two degrees and after I got saved I dropped everything to stay at home. I was encouraged to hear from a seasoned mom who went through it all. There are days where I am tempted to go back to work (I even send in a few applications) but this encouraged me to keep working well at home unto the Lord.
Connie what a great interview. Mrs. Qualls was great and her words are truth many young mothers need to hear. Father can benefit too as they learn to honor and support their wives. Life lived following the Lord helps and as was mentioned when the home is in balance things work for good.
First, thank you for your podcast. As an upper middle aged white male in our current world environment FBT has been a blessing in helping me understand perspectives I quite frankly didn’t know existed outside of mainstream media and helped me discover podcasts such as this. I discovered FBT while trying to learn more about Erec Smith and now when I tell others about FBT the word I use most often is “hope”. The stories, insight and perspectives I’ve listened to truly give me hope once again in humanity, so thank you.
In a world where being a “strong woman” is now so often portrayed within the context of moving up the corporate ladder, a career and associated with what I would consider external strength characteristics, it is refreshing to hear your stories of motherhood. I’ve often thought there is no more important career than being a parent - mother or father. Nothing wrong with a career outside the household for fathers or mothers - just a matter of priorities. When I listened to your podcast, I thought here are two ladies who are truly strong women. And your strength is internal and resilient and it’s obvious you are great role models for your children. Good mothers are some of the strongest people I’ve known. I look forward to continuing to listen and learn.
On a side note, the best marriage advice came from my father-in-law. Before getting married he asked me what I thought a good marriage was and I replied it should be a 50-50 relationship and he corrected me and said, “no it’s a 100%-100% relationship”.
