Abstract

Wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, and all women often carry a higher level of guilt than their male counterparts as they juggle the many roles they have in life. Christian women can look to Scriptural promises and examples to guide them as they strive for work and family balance. Healthy habits also set the path for women to try to limit the impact multiple stressors have on their physical, mental, and spiritual health. The world needs women’s unique and diverse perspectives in any situation, especially within the church. As leaders within the Christian community, there should be space for women to be encouraged and supported to walk into the mission given to them. In addition, there should be space for single mothers and those with limited choices to be supported and encouraged by fellow women in Christ.
