Are you a mom buried under the weight of unmet expectations, never-ending to-do lists, and the pressure to be everything for everyone? In this episode of the Legacy Parenting Podcast, Lori Lane pulls up a chair and speaks straight to the heart of the overwhelmed Christian mom.
Drawing from her own parenting journey—through chronic illness, homeschooling setbacks, and seasons of deep weariness—Lori shares how God’s grace, not perfection, became her anchor. You’ll hear how the gospel offers rest for the soul, even when the dishes pile up and nothing seems to go according to plan.
