We’ve all struggled with doubt at some point in our lives. If you happen to be in that season of life right now, Traps of Doubt might be the book you’re looking for!

So, I’m having a little chat with this woman and because we’re both mothers, we started talking about our children. She asked where my kids go to school and my simple answer sent our conversation on a downward spiral. Where do my kids go to school? I homeschool our kids. I homeschool our kids.
