Bethany is a mother of 8 children who says, “For years, I mothered from a place of striving, guilt, and fear. But as I began to understand my identity in Christ, not as a mom who has to “get it all right,” but as a beloved daughter, everything shifted. I found peace, joy, and freedom through Gospel-centered parenting.”
And you will believe her after you listen to this conversation. Bethany shares the heart of gospel discipline and generously walks through her 4 part model with so many helpful examples. She is both gentle and truthful.

Bethany also founded Warrior Motherhood. You’re going to want to check out all that she’s doing.
