A Lifeline to Moms Teaser Trailer
At Dr. Dobson’s request, Sarah prayed for overwhelmed moms who feel as though they are at their wit’s end. She asked God to give them peace and to encourage them that ‘they are doing the greatest job ever known.’ Sarah exclaimed, “It’s harder than any job but it is so rewarding.” Sarah and Dr. Dobson then underscored the importance of finding community and fellow Christian moms who understand the unending work of motherhood. “These are fellow soldiers in this incredible calling,” she explained. They closed the program out by talking about the unique nature of disciplining her sons. Sarah mentioned a quote by Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who has become a top scientist, who said, “Don't treat them differently than your other children.” Despite the fact that Noah and Jesse are on the autism spectrum, Sarah agreed with Dr. Dobson that discipline is important to prepare them to experience the real world.
