A 3-peat on Freedom Families, Abbie Halberstadt returns to offer humor, wisdom and Biblical truth about motherhood. Bible-believing mother of 10, Abbie has grown and learned so much in her almost 2 decades of motherhood. The Lord has clearly given Abbie the gift of teaching and encouraging other moms. We are so grateful she was able to come back on with us! Motherhood is a holy calling (fatherhood, too). If we are walking with the Lord, He will use it to refine us and mature us in ways that glorify Him and bless our families. Tune in for encouragement and insight, no matter where you're at in your parenting journey.

We can all be avid readers. No matter how technology advances, we need to be a people of books! If you feel like you are not a good reader, as though good books are over your head - don't worry, you can learn to be a good reader! Sarah shares her story, which should give us all encouragement and confidence that we, too, can become readers of great books. What should we do if we start reading a book that's garbage? Are audiobooks OK? Which books should we read with our kids? Sarah and E.J. also talk about the amount of reading. Especially as busy moms and dads, we might feel like we don't have time to read. But we do! 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there. Look at your screen time, you've got the time in there. Books shape our character and our worldview. We also need to be reading great books with our kids to help share theirs. While doing so, we create strong and special bonds with our children, we grow and we laugh with them, and - with the right books and, most notably, the Good Book - we understand God and His ways more fully along with our spouses and children. Book-lovers will certainly enjoy this episode and we hope it will motivate and encourage everyone who listens to be readers of great books!
