S5 26: Unseen Acts of Faithfulness in Motherhood with Sherri Seligson
Being a stay-at-home mom is not a demotion—it’s a career shift. Sherri Seligson knows what it’s like to trade a dream job for the privilege of staying home to raise her kids full-time. Her story reminds us that it’s the small habits and “little obediences” of everyday life that shape us into who we will become one day.
