Do you ever put so much pressure on yourself to get everything right as a mom? You love your kids desperately and just want to do your best, but when you scroll Instagram or read parenting books, there's so much conflicting advice out there. You try something that worked for another family, and it just doesn't work for yours. You're left feeling like a failure because it seems like everyone else has this parenting thing figured out, and you're stuck wondering what you're doing wrong. Here's what might surprise you: you're not the problem. For decades, Christian parents have been sold promises that "biblical parenting" can never actually deliver. That's why today on the Equipping Godly Women podcast, I'm talking with Marissa Franks Burt and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis, authors of The Myth of Good Christian Parenting, about how the Christian parenting industry has shaped families for 50 years and why so many of those popular methods cause more harm than good. These researchers read over 100 Christian parenting books and surveyed countless families to uncover how we got here and what we can do about it. In this conversation, we talk about:

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...

Have you ever wished you could give your child more personalized, one-on-one math help, but you donβt understand the math well enough to help and hiring a private math tutor is WAY too expensive? Most math curriculum has a problem. It was designed for the "average" student--not for your child's unique needs, learning style, and preferences. That's not a criticism of teachers or schools.
