How Moms Make a Difference *

Well Faith with Chris Teien

We look at some encouraging moms found in the Bible and show how influential a mother can be. We know some have lost their mothers, never had a mother, don’t feel they are good mothers, lost a child, always wanted to be a mom but it hasn’t worked or have other things in their life that make Mother’s Day sad but listen and we will give hope and help for that, too.
