Speaker 1: So they invited me to a Bible study. I'm like, " I don't need another Bible study. I just wanna be a better mom." But what I realized when I went to that study and I was the only young mom in there, these women were real and they were genuine and they talked about in scripture what we were studying what they were at- in that moment being convicted of and they shared from their successes and their failures. I can write a letter to my younger self. It does no one any good. But if I write it and give it to the next generation, which is what I attempted to do with the book Moms of the Bible, now my stories, the stories of moms in the Bible, the stories of moms in history can mentor the next generation and it's relational and it's real.
