Why are so many parents today overwhelmed, overstimulated, and quietly carrying shame? Dr. Jim Burns is joined by Abbey Wedgeworth—wife, mom, Bible teacher, and author—for a powerful conversation on breaking free from parental shame and returning to the truth of the Gospel. Abbey shares how shame pulls us away from God, while conviction gently invites us back—and why comparison is stealing joy from so many families. Together, they offer practical, faith-centered steps to parent with intention, humility, and hope. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough, this episode will remind you where true freedom is found.
