Teaching Our Children to Recognize the Battle
For the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, in order to keep you from doing whatever you want.” — Galatians 5:17 (NASB 1995)
As moms, we see it in ourselves and in our children—that tug between what’s right and what’s easy.
The flesh wants its own way. The Spirit calls us to a better way.
We don’t shield our children from this battle—we equip them for it. We show them how to recognize the conflict, and more importantly, how to walk in victory through the Spirit’s power.
Family Talk:
- What does it feel like when you’re tempted to do wrong?
- How does the Holy Spirit help us make the right choice?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help us all hear Your voice more clearly than the world’s. Let our home be led by You, not by the flesh. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.

● I don’t have a budget for an editor, publisher, or team behind the scenes. Everything you see here is created prayerfully and paid for out of pocket, using the tools I can afford to help present a clear, polished message of truth and hope.
