What we believe about ourselves shapes how we parent, for better or worse. In this opening episode of the Grace and Truth for Every Parent series, host Stacy Bellward talks with Connected Families&#8217; Content Manager, Laura Way, about the beliefs that quietly keep parents stuck. Laura shares her own journey, including a pivotal moment with CF co-founder Lynne Jackson that helped her trade a crushing lie for a grace-filled truth that transformed her parenting. If you&#8217;ve ever struggled with feeling like a bad mom or like you&#8217;re just not enough, this one&#8217;s for you. Key Takeaways: Your weaknesses can become your greatest parenting strength. Parenting surfaces the beliefs you didn&#8217;t know existed. Receive God&#8217;s grace first, then pass it on. You are loved far beyond your best behavior.
