    Motherhood, Mistakes, and the Middle Ground of Modern Conservatism

    Motherhood, Mistakes, and the Middle Ground of Modern Conservatism

    286: Pastor Plek and Adrienne are joined by Hayley Hengst on the podcast for a deep episode about the trials of parenting. Together they take a hard look at the balance between keeping their children safe and smothering their independence, all while wrestling with the digital age's snares and the nostalgia of their own, less supervised childhoods. They also tackle tough topics like addiction and recovery and where personal beliefs intersect with cultural movements. It's a candid critique of conservatism sans Christ, and a call for a middle ground in a world where emotions are often dismissed as weakness rather than signals guiding us towards growth.
