A few weeks ago, I sent out a reader survey asking about your biggest struggles in faith, marriage, parenting, and life in general. And here's what I found: Your seasons are different. Your goals are different. But underneath almost every response, there was the same quiet frustration... You already know what you should do. You just can't seem to actually do it. Over and over again, almost all of you said some version of "I struggle with consistency" or "I know what I want to do. I just can't...
