Are you a Christian mom feeling sad or stressed as the holidays approach?
You’re not alone!
It's common for mothers to experience a mix of overwhelming emotions this time of year. We're hosting this heartfelt conversation with the hope of helping you through it!

Join us on November 20th at 1pm ET as we hear from authors, counselors—and fellow mothers—Christine Chappell, Darby Strickland, Eliza Huie, and Lauren Whitman. During the live discussion, they'll consider ways to:

• navigate sadness and stress during the holiday season.
• manage expectations and find balance amidst the hustle and bustle.
• stay spiritually nourished while serving the needs of others.

Come learn and be lifted up in Christ as we lean into his grace and mercy for moms! This event is free to attend, and the replay will be made available to those who register.
