Parent’s Day Instead of Mother’s Day?

Episode Summary: In some school districts in America Mother’s Day has been targeted by the cancel culture crows. Some schools have decided to have a gender-neutral Parents’ Day or Family Day instead. We might laugh at this extreme or get angry, but this episode examines how the gender-neutral movement is harming the daughters of our homes, churches, and nation.

For Further Prayerful Thought

1. Why does the gender-neutral movement and devaluing of motherhood harm a teen girl today?
2. In the struggle of women to balance their call to use their gifts vocationally and use their gifts to nurture their children, how would you explain the role of the Industrial Revolution? How can this knowledge prevent us from the legalism that a woman should not work outside the home, or the worldly ide a that she must have a career outside the home to be fulfilled?
3. In your circles, how can you support women who are wrestling with both the calling to be at home with their kids and good stewards by using their gifts outside the home? 
4. How might honoring mothers but also women who are not—for their incredibly precious nurturing hearts warm the hearts of single and childless women?
