426. Be The Voice Live - Albany

Welcome to the kitchen table, mama. This episode kicks off the Be The Voice Warrior Mama Podcast Tour — and we couldn't think of a more fitting place to start than under a centuries-old oak tree at the ROOTED Conference, surrounded by women learning what it means to become "oaks of righteousness."

In this live Q&A, Bethany sits down with a circle of moms — young moms, seasoned moms, single moms, moms parenting kids with extra needs — and answers the questions they've been holding close. The conversation moves from the practical ("How do I disciple my own kids while ministering to others?") into the deep waters of gospel discipline, marriage rhythms, navigating friendships with different parenting styles, talking with kids about sex from God's design, and shepherding the child who doesn't fit the "normal" mold.

🌳 The Be The Voice Tour Is ComingThis episode is just the beginning. Over the next year, the Be The Voice Warrior Mama Tour is heading to 12 states, gathering gospel-centered mamas around real kitchen tables, real oak trees, and real conversations about raising kids who love Jesus in a world that doesn't.

This isn't a polished, glossy event. It's the same conversation you just heard — in your city. We'll
