In this episode, Janet interviews Abbey Wedgeworth who invites us to consider how deeply God cares for every part of who we are — both body and soul. She talks about how miscarriage was one piece of opening her eyes to this, and what it looks like to disciple our kids with this truth in mind. Abbey shares the analogy of two colors of playdough mixed together — inseparable, just like our body and soul. We know this conversation with encourage you as you parent your children, or as you consider your own understanding of both spiritual and physical life.
