Often the first girls minister a teen girl will ever have is a mom. And because she is one of the primary disciple makers of her daughter, churches should celebrate, honor, and support her every chance we get! In today's episode, we talk about how we can do a better job at that. So if you know a mom, send this episode to her today and let her know how much she means to you.
