Podcast SummaryJoin us as we welcome Becky Thompson, USA Today bestselling author and founder of the Midnight Mom devotional online community, to our latest episode. With Mother's Day on the horizon, we focus on the often-overlooked need for genuine rest among mothers. Becky shares her personal journey of life in Oklahoma with her husband and three children, her prolific writing career, and her growing ministry that unites over 2 million women in nightly prayer. Our conversation with Becky highlights the importance of finding peace and experiencing God's presence amid the whirlwind of motherhood, as well as the path that brought her to our podcast, illustrating the beauty of living with purpose and authenticity.
Listen in as we tackle the challenges faced by many women balancing motherhood with other responsibilities and ambitions. We address societal pressures that make it seem like women should manage everything effortlessly, often leading to guilt when they seek help. We shift the focus to the theme of true rest and peace, found in the presence of Jesus, and explore how rest is not just about the absence of activity but an active process of healing. Our discussion emphasizes redefining rest to integrate faith and reliance on God, highlighting that true peace transcends mere physical breaks or organizational strategies.
Becky shares a personal vision that became a catalyst for healing, offering hope and understanding to thousands of women through her book, “Healing Rest”. We also explore the significance of embracing God's presence in motherhood, using prayer as a way to invite His guidance and blessings into our lives. Through personal stories and spiritual insights, we highlight the adventure of faith, the universal struggle of calling God good in difficult times, and the importance of supporting others on their path to peace and understanding.
