Our first Mother of the Month (M.O.M) is Eve, the mother of all living things (Genesis 3:20). We often hear Eve as a one-dimensional character in sermons and lessons; the blame for the fall of mankind. But, we are going to view Eve through a different lens, the lens of motherhood. We unravel revelations about Eve that I have not heard publicly. Within her motherhood were joys and pains, like so many mothers around the world. This discussion will be especially insightful for:
First time Mothers
Grieving Mothers
Expectant Mothers with little to no support
Also, those who need to see the humanity in their mother’s lives experience/s
