Dawn Haas is a follower of Christ, wife to Chris, and mom of three. She lives in Florida, where her family homeschools, runs a small business, and serves in their local church.
Zebedee Moms: Redeeming Hidden Fears in the Hearts of Moms is a heartfelt and challenging exploration of modern Christian motherhood through the lens of Scripture, personal testimony, and relatable stories. Inspired by Salome, the mother of James and John—often referred to as the “Zebedee Mom”—this book calls out a common but rarely discussed reality: many well-intentioned Christian mothers hold on too tightly to their children and their outcomes, even into adulthood.
With a vulnerable voice and spiritual depth, author Dawn Haas unpacks the hidden fears that often drive mothers to overstep, control, and interfere—despite their genuine desire to serve God. From hovering prayers to misplaced priorities in marriage, from cultural pressures to generational expectations, Zebedee Moms confronts it all.
Each chapter offers biblical insight, real-life stories, and a redemptive invitation to surrender—not out of weakness, but in faithful obedience to God’s higher purpose for both mother and child. With humor, humility, and the wisdom of hard-earned lessons, this book guides moms to trade fear for trust, control for peace, and overinvolvement for Spirit-led love.
