Calling and Complexity, Calling and Constraint
What is the balance between the calling of marriage, motherhood, and vocation? This course explores the value and beauty of this challenge for women in the 21st century.
At a Glance
There is a new reality for women in the 21st century—it's a different world with different goals than it was even a generation ago. What once was "You can have it all" has now become "You need to have it all." You need to have the perfect job, the perfect husband, the perfect house, the perfect kids, the perfect play dates, craft nights, and date nights.
Many women struggle with the decision between working inside the home or outside the home. How can you maintain a sense of self and motherhood in both decisions? The reality is we can't really have it all—sometimes we have to make choices. This course explores the value and beauty in those constraints.
