Have you ever done something kind for your kids, only for them to throw it back in your face—or not even say thank you? That extra sting we feel? That’s the trap of transactional love. And it’s something I’ve been wrestling with in my own heart after sitting with the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how this familiar passage is teaching me to reflect on my "why" behind loving my family. This episode might be the heart-check you need this week!

A tender, honest conversation for the mom who’s tired, doing all the things, and craving deeper connection with God and her home. Let's go!
