How To Move From Self Dependence To God Dependence
As parents, we often develop a savior complex.
We want to protect our kids from harm, provide for their every need, and teach them everything that they need to know.
But no parent—no matter how great—can be everything to everyone.
In Episode 77, Becky Beresford joins us to share how, as an autism mom, God has moved her from a place of self reliance to God dependence.
If you’re tired of trying to be all the things to all the people in your life, this episode is for you! Becky Beresford is a Christian author and speaker. She has a master's certificate in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship from Moody Theological Seminary. Becky encourages women to embrace Christ-centered empowerment through the gospel. She is the author of She Believed HE Could, So She Did.

About Greg and Jessica Hurlbut
Greg and Jessica Hurlbut are pastors in Upstate NY and parents of five kiddos; two whom struggle with severe autism, two adopted through foster care, and one typical teenage boy.
Greg and Jessica are huge adoption advocates. After adopting a sibling group of two from foster care in 2014, Jessica attempted to run 110 miles as a visual representation of the 110,000 kids currently in foster care who were freed to be adopted and in desperate need of a forever family. This feat sparked an annual National Adoption Day Run where over 100 virtual and in-person runners gather to complete a 125-mile relay across St Lawrence County in 24 hours.
When facing the grim diagnosis of autism, they searched far and wide for Christian resources to help them walk this difficult road and found none. Through the Full Spectrum Parent Podcast, Greg and Jessica desire to be the person they needed. Each episode offers practical advice and hope to special needs parents—reminding them God is with them, for them, and will use all they have endured for his glory.
