Whenever we turn on the TV these days, it feels like we’re being bombarded with bad news. Because of that, we decided to record this “chaser” episode of the Mama Bear Apologetics podcast. While the Covid-19 pandemic is something we should take seriously, we wanted to point out that we have also been surrounded by some unintentional blessings because of it. It is so easy to focus on the bad things, that we often overlook some of the good ones.

We’re going to talk about the things that we have noticed in our lives recently in a few different categories: family, nature, stillness, contentment, and faith.

We hope you learn a little more about how to sift through ideas, accept the good, reject the bad, and now you can teach your kids to do the same.
