157: Children, Finances, and Your Marriage (Lies Moms Believe Series #11) with Rebekah Hargraves (Solo Episode 25)

On today’s solo podcast episode, I am continuing the podcast series based on my book, Lies Moms Believe (And How the Gospel Refutes Them) with a chat addressing the lies "Children are Really Expensive" and "Children Ruin a Marriage". I hope you come away from this episode with your mind transformed and your heart encouraged by the truths of the gospel!

What I Chat about in Today’s Episode:

~The next lies covered in my book:

26. "Children are Really Expensive"

27. "Children Ruin a Marriage"

~The reality that children *can* be really expensive, but are not inherently so

~The freedom we have to make choices about how our children impact our finances; being good stewards of the money entrusted to us by God

~Viewing children as a blessing and reward as opposed to a drain on our resources

~The negative message we hear from culture about the adverse impact children have on marriages

~The freedom we have to choose to prioritize our marriages even in the midst of busy seasons of parenting

~The fact that it isn't just that children don't inherently ruin marriages, but that they can, in fact, make our marriages even better

~4 specific ways in which having children can actually improve your marriage

~The way Psalm 127 and 128 present marriage and family life as a joyful, blessed, happy institution

~And more!
