Hello, everyone. You're listening to Family Talk, a radio broadcasting ministry of the James

Dobson Family Institute. I'm Dr. James Dobson, and thank you for joining us for this program.

Well, welcome to another edition of Family Talk, the broadcast division of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

I'm Roger Marsh, once again, sliding into the co-host seat for today's conversation about a brand new book by Becky Thompson,

speaker and founder of the Midnight Mom devotional online community.

More than 2 million moms gather every night for prayer.

Becky has authored several books,

and her latest is called Healing Rest, an invitation for mamas who carry so much to lean into the

you talk about when we co-labor with him, that's kind of one of the beginning places for moms

to find rest, especially, isn't it, where we realize, yes, there is a task. We have these children to raise, but at the same time, we understand that if we're raising them according to God's standard, then his yoke, his burden, is going to be a perfect fit for us if we'll just embrace it.

Talk about why that's such an important concept for moms today who have so many different influencers telling him other things and the world is messaging the daylights out of them with

regard to what it means to be a quote unquote good mom. That's so true. You know, there are so
