Motherhood is hard. Really hard.

As mothers themselves, Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-Maclean know this personally. But they also surveyed seven hundred moms who shared struggles with worry, anger, comparison, escapism, desire for control, and heartbreak while raising kids.

Moms need a well. For centuries, women met daily at neighborhood wells to draw water for their families. Yet, wells were also spaces where vital relationships were cultivated.

The newest IVP Bible Study, ‘Moms at the Well: Meeting God Through the Mothers of Scripture’ is a modern-day “well,” where mothers can be seen and refreshed through engagement with God. Preorder today at ivpress.com.

A Good Friday Reflection from Esau McCaulley

“Jesus is the beginning of the resistance. In him God declares that sin and death will not always rule. Jesus’ fidelity to God in the face of evil is the wellspring of power that gives us the strength to live a fully human life.

The cross of Christ is not an ending, a final act of evil in a world that knows only the destruction of good. The cross is evil meeting a more powerful foe: Emmanuel God with us, even unto death.”

—Esau McCaulley, ‘Lent’ from the Fullness of Time series
