You are listening to Radical with David Platt, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages from

pastor, author and teacher David Platt.

So you have a Bible and I hope you do.

Let me invite you to open with me to Joshua chapter 7.

Joshua chapter 7 and I invite you to pull out those notes that are in the worship guide that you received when you came in. I've got to start

this morning by telling you that I've discovered there is a noticeable difference between me and my precious

wife Heather when it comes to parenting.

I say a noticeable difference.

There are actually probably many noticeable differences,

but one in particular is when it comes to this whole sleeping

routine.

My wife is an incredible mom.

And she instantly, when we got Caleb a year ago

and then Joshua a couple months ago,

instantly that radar went into effect in her that she can hear any sound that comes

from him at all.

She is completely sensitive to.

She can be fast asleep

Joshua in another room and he sniffles and Heather will dart up out of bed

and wonder if everything's okay and go to make sure she's just so sensitive to that.

I, on the other hand, can be in the same room with Joshua, him be and be crying crying profusely, loudly wailing,

and I can be completely asleep, serenely calmly asleep like nothing is going on.
