This week we are joined by Terri, mumma of 5 kids (at the moment). She is passionate about foster care and currently is fostering two children at the moment. In this episode, we consider foster care, however the focus of the conversation leans towards our self reliance - how more often than not, we find it safer to trust ourselves and what we know, rather than trusting in God. The challenge we consider is what we do when faced to choose our own way or choose God. Terri encourages us that we c...

I wanted to call this episode, "What is a good mum?", as it's where Mel and I land in our conversation. But more appropriately titled out of the heart of our conversation, "We are sinful mums".

We both consider how motherhood was the catalyst to seeing our total depravity as humans. Mel's aim in life was to be a great mum - it's what she desperately longed f...

A second Unsung Stories episode this week?! The mailing list subscribers already knew this, but this season is going to be a trial of smaller episodes each week as well.
