So why did Eve reach for the one thing God said "no" to?In this raw and convicting episode, Rhonda Stoppe unpacks the devastating moment when the perfect woman made the not-so-perfect choice—and every mom since has been fighting the same battle. Because here's the uncomfortable truth: Satan's strategy with Eve is the exact same strategy he's using on you today.Rhonda reveals the five fatal steps that led to Eve's fall: she trusted herself, investigated the forbidden, questioned God's goodness, compromised truth, and isolated herself from protection.

It's about Parenting 101 straight from God Himself. Discover how God approached Adam and Eve after their sin (hint: He didn't bark "Go to your room!") and learn how to shepherd your child's heart toward genuine repentance instead of just regret-because-they-got-caught.Rhonda vulnerably shares the story of a young man whose "harmless" root beer theft at age 5 became a life of crime by adulthood, and challenges moms to recognize their children's "bent" before sinful patterns become second nature. From lying to meanness to emotional manipulation, the habits you ignore today will define who your children become tomorrow.Plus: Why that mean woman at church didn't just become mean yesterday (and what you need to teach your daughters about hormones, blame, and marriage). The J.D. Rockefeller quote that explains why "just a little bit more" never satisfies. And the daily practice that will keep you from falling for Satan's half-truths when life gets hard.Godliness with contentment is great gain.
