In my upcoming ebook, Fearless Mothering, I tell about how God helped me to overcome a lifestyle of debilitating fear. Look for it in November!

Where does your husband fit into this fearlessness?

Good question, Y. I believe both parents are so important in the lives of children, and I think that if one is fearful and one is not, then both have the power to influence the kids. But that doesn’t negate the fact that a courageous mom (or dad) has an incredible opportunity to affect the way her child sees life.

I ask because I would like to hear more details about how families of faith actually operate as parenting and domestic partners on a day-to-day basis.

Well, I am fortunate that my husband is a faith-filled person, and in fact the one who first helped me realize I could overcome a lifestyle of fear. So being on the same page is awesome. We guide our kids in the same direction.
