Signpost Parenting :: Ann Voskamp [Ep 394]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Who saw all that you’ve done today? Anyone? A mom’s work usually goes unacknowledged. We want to measure our work by how the house looks or how the children behave, or by how put together we look when we go out. But my guest this week, Ann Voskamp, invites us to prioritize the</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">unseen</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. She dares us to prioritize things like the riches of Christ, the promise of an eternity in his presence that is “utterly and completely fulfilling,” and our relationships with those around us.  She helps us see the value in “signpost” parenting - not overly concerned with outcomes we cannot control, but deeply committed to continually pointing our kids to Christ and the sufficiency of His great love for us. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ann is a mom to 7, farmer’s wife and author of several books including her newest,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your Brave Song: An Inspirational Children’s Picture Book That Shows How Faith in Jesus Can Help Kids Overcome Fear, Worry, and Anxiety</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Ann Voskamp: </span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Website: </span> <a href= "https://annvoskamp.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://annvoskamp.com</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Facebook:</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/AnnVoskamp"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.facebook.com/AnnVoskamp</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram: </span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/annvoskamp/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@annvoskamp</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> </ul> <h2><span style="f
