She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed;” Proverbs 31:27-28 NIV “It’s not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it.” —Dorothy on The Golden Girls. Mother’s Day. It’s a day where mothers receive 1/365th of the attention they deserve each year.

On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome a panel of moms (Marcie Hughes, Marci Edlin, and Gina Russell) to talk about the challenges, the rewards, and the God-ordained task of being a Mom. From the help that Mom needs from her husband, to the lies that a woman is tempted to believe, to the truths that God says about Moms, this weeks show is a tribute to the Moms who deserve so much love and admiration.
