Guest Speaker: An Evening with Beth Bingaman:
Join us Saturday evening as Beth Bingaman speaks on "Mom Guilt" — a talk for mothers wrestling with whether they're parenting biblically, drawing on Lauren Whitman's definition of mom guilt as a persistent, hyper-awareness of parenting "shoulds" that even faith in Jesus doesn't always quiet. Beth will explore five factors — fear, guilt, shame, regret, and envy — that shape our emotional and Christian responses to parenting. A speaker from West Chester, PA, Beth is devoted to teaching God's Word with reverence and challenging women of God to live biblically, aiming through her engaging presentations to help listeners become doers, not just hearers, of the Word.
