Parenting is exhausting. And as Christian moms, we don't just have the to-dos of the world, we are also trying to honor the commands of The Word. What if God already has a plan for our rest and what if we are too busy seeking temporal solutions to our stress and overwhelm to see the solutions He already has in place? Emily and Steph look to Scripture to clarify the topic of rest, peace, and self-care in biblical motherhood.
