Risen Motherhood

As moms, we spend a lot of time thinking about sleep, like, “Will I get to have it?” and “I can’t sleep – I have too much to do!” From tiny baby bellies to late-night toddler questions, we sacrifice our sleep out of love and service to Christ through caring for our families. In this episode, Laura and Emily discuss how the gospel gives hope to the weary, sleepy mom (most of us, right?). In light of God’s promises to us, we no longer worship sleep as an idol or ignore our need for rest. Instead, Christ has freed us from either extreme, offering us true rest and hope in himself. We may be tired, but we can trust him with our needs.   RM APPLY QUESTIONS VIEW TRANSCRIPT   Articles, Resources and Related Content: Momma, Jesus Invites You to Come and Rest - Liz Wann, RM Blog The Sovereign Hand of Sleeplessness - Kristin Tabb, Desiring God 3 Truths for the Tired Mom - Elisha Galotti, Revive Our Hearts I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead - Mary C.
