Hope for
new moms:
Christ Cares
for you
as you care
for them
Sleep schedules, bottles, dirty diapers, colicky nights.
If you’ve felt like you’re drowning in the midst of it all—wondering what to do and who you even are anymore—you’re not alone. You’re more than these spit-up stains and baggy eyes, Mama. More than an around-the-clock milk machine or expert baby shusher. You’re a whole person, changing and growing alongside your child right now, and you are precious to Jesus.
The postpartum season can feel deeply disorienting, especially your first time through, but you aren’t as unseen or overlooked as you might feel. In his humanity, Christ came to walk where you walk and suffer as you do, and he understands the loneliness and exhaustion you feel. And in his deity, Christ meets you there with the comfort and care of a perfect Parent.
With tenderness and care, Cradled walks through eight tasks that consume the postpartum season—feeding, sleeping, changing, soothing, washing, nurturing, praying, and anticipating—imparting a fresh perspective of how Christ ministers to moms in like fashion. Through discussion questions and rich reflections, you’ll be better equipped to face your own physical, spiritual, and emotional needs as a postpartum mom and process your experiences through the lens of the gospel, grappling with the realities of the fall but also holding onto the hope of redemption.
