Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Nancy addresses lies such as: 'I don't need to have children / children will cramp my lifestyle,' 'My children are the center of my world,' 'I can protect my children from all hurt,' and 'My children's choices are a reflection of my worth as a mother.' Which of these carries the most weight for you?
2.The cultural message that children are optional lifestyle accessories conflicts sharply with Psalm 127's view of children as a heritage and reward from the Lord. How has our culture's framing of children as a burden rather than a blessing shaped the choices of women around you?
3.The lie that children should be the *center* of a mother's world sounds loving but can produce child-centered homes that are unhealthy for both parent and child. What does Nancy say about the proper ordering of a mother's loves and loyalties? How does that actually serve children better?
