The Great Shalom Podcast :  Overcoming Learning Problems


Mothering and Salvation

October 16, 2025

The problems that mothers feel the most have changed over the years. Back in the 1980s we were tormented that our children were not doing well in school. In the early 2000s, we learned that "learning disabilities" were common. We were then puzzled why we were having so many physiological issues that "no one knew about." We began to be locked into controversy about whether vaccines caused autism. By the 20 tens we were just overwhelmed by the massive problems our children were having. In the 2020 we are flabberghasted at the problems that society is bringing us. We just hope our children are not raped, mutilated, or alienated from us. We think now that learning problems like "learning disabilities" are largely dealt with. We are exhausted. The root cause of everything is evil in the world, brokenness of humanity. Wouldn't it be great if there were one over-arching solution? Good news. There is. We call it salvation. Today, for most people, this word has a strange, religious smell to it. It means rescue! In Central America, there is a beer named "Salvation" because there the refreshing quality of a cold beer could find no better term!  Salvation is rescue, it is refreshing, it is also a total renewal of reality. As mothers, as grandmothers, as educators, we sure need a resurrection out of decay, dirtiness, and darkness.  Jesus is there. He brought it to us. Came down from heaven to walk among us humans, to offer His Divine Hand. Hear how this could apply in your child's life. Blessings.
