Amy and Mike talk this week with authors Becky Thompson (Midnight Mom community) and Dr Mark R Pitts about the Midnight Dad Devotional & Community. For the last 38 years, ministry has been a family affair for Dr. Mark R. Pitts, establishing and planting many churches and ministries. His wife, Susan, and daughter, Becky Thompson, co-authored the USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller Midnight Mom Devotional, and co-manage the Midnight Mom Devotional online community, a space where moms can find encouragement, community, and nightly prayer, which has amassed more than 1.3 million followers. As the mom community grew, the family felt called to create a space to bring nightly prayers and encouragement to dads, and Mark took the lead. In 2019, they created the Midnight Dad Devotional online community. In Midnight Dad Devotional: 100 Devotions and Prayers to Connect Dads Just Like You to the Father (Thomas Nelson, April 27, 2021), Thompson and Pitts encourage men in their roles as fathers by providing short, powerful devotions that allow men to see themselves in biblical examples of God as Father, and reassure them that they are exactly who God chose as ‘dad' for their family. “God has called you to the role of father,” write Thompson and Pitts. “And you have God Himself as a role model… We want you to see yourself in these biblical examples and believe that you have God's love safely and securely in your heart. At the same time, we don't want you to settle. We hope you realize there is always a better or a best to the good you already have.” Becky Thompson is a bestselling author and the creator of the Midnight Mom Devotional community, gathering over one million moms in nightly prayer. Speaking hope into the struggle of balancing life as a wife mother, and daughter of God, Becky has become the voice of modern Christian motherhood. You can learn more about Becky's top Christian podcast, Revived Motherhood, or find more of her work by visiting BeckyThompson.com. Becky lives near Nashville with her husband, Jared, and their three children. Dr. Mark R. Pitts is a graduate of the University of Tulsa Law School. He is an ordained pastor and a well-known Bible teacher in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, area where he lives with his wife, Susan. They have been married for 41 years and have two adult daughters and three grandchildren. In 2019, Mark created the Midnight Dad Devotional online community with his daughter, Becky Thompson, the creator of the Midnight Mom Devotional. Mark enjoys teaching Scripture and praying for dads.

Even the most bold, assertive, and confident man feels the heavy burdens and fears that come with fathering kids in these challenging times. He wonders Do I have what it takes? Who is the right example to follow? How do I measure up to God's perfect example of fatherhood? What does it take to be a success? Am I the only one who struggles? Who will walk this road of parenting with me?   Today's guests, Becky Thompson and Mark Pitts, are here to share the one most important source of help and encouragement that every dad needs. They help us to understand   How—and why—the Midnight Mom and Midnight Dad communities were born and have grown to encourage so many.   How a dad's needs are different from a mother's as he raises his kids.   What a dad needs to tackle the tough task of fatherhood in these challenging times.   How a close relationship with Father God equips a dad to parent his kids.   How to move past the insecurity of knowing you can't be a perfect parent.   The powerful motivation to keep reaching for more in your life as a dad.   How to grow in your confidence to pray for your kids.   How community with other dads is a game-changer in the life of a father Becky Thompson and Dr. Mark R. Pitts are the father-daughter duo behind the Midnight Dad online community , that encourages fathers with short, powerful prayers every night at midnight. Modeled off the runaway success of Midnight Mom, which has over 1.3 million followers, Midnight Dad meets fathers where they are and assures them that they are exactly who God chose as ‘dad' for their family.    The pair have written a new devotional, Midnight Dad Devotional: 100 Devotions and Prayers to Connect Dads Just Like You to the Father.  It gives dads a sense of connection with other fathers, strength for each night and the day ahead, wisdom from the Bible for tough situations, affirmation of the importance of their role, and the reassurance that God is with them.   This podcast is produced and edited by Angie Elkins Media, Inc.

You know, I don't think that we can ever separate the two." 5:30 - Learning the Father's love from her dad. 7:14 -  We don't just have a heavenly father that parents us. We have a heavenly father who fathers us. 9:21 - "That's and that's also whole all scriptural that we are supposed to improve, if you will, improve our children, if they are supposed to be, we want them to be better than us. We don't just want them to have a better life, be more fortunate, be more prosperous. We want them to be better than us. We want them to take what we have to give them what God has breathed into them, into into us, and therefore we breathe into them and that they are going to take that and go much farther than we could have ever gone." 10:42 - "Our prayer is that men will see themselves as God sees them. We've already talked about that as they are as the warriors they are, fighting in the trenches for their families against all odds, overcoming every trial that comes their way." Quote from Midnight Dad's devotional 13:03 - "You, father, dad, are going where you're going. This is supposed to help you know, that you have a heavenly father who's going to get you there, who's going to help you accomplish that, where no other human can help you as well as your heavenly father can help you." 15:16 - "So here's the thing about Noah is that he invited his sons to build with him, that it was a family build, that Noah got the download and it required the help of his whole family to create what would be for the whole family. And so I think as dads are listening and they're like, well, this is what God has called me to. It's not just for them. It's with them that there isn't anything that God calls a parent to, that he doesn't also call the children to participate in." 16:45 - "It's the difference between that and fathering, which says I'm going to intentionally stay relational with you. I'm going to care not about what you did today, but how it made you feel. And then I'm going to invite you into my story of what God is doing in me. And the only way for a child to see the impact of what God is doing in the father is if he intentionally makes the decision to include his children in what he's going through and how he feels about it. And and I think that's what it means to build with it." 22:14 -  "it was the promise of presence, which is I am certain that I will see and experience this goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, not just know about it, not just here about it, not someday." 22:52 - You can never have more. It's the one thing you could never fully possess because there's always more to gain that the act of having more means that you have to always be reaching and going and trying. - Quoting her dad You can never achieve more, you can never actually hold more. I want to tell him that this is going to be a lifetime journey.  26:57 - "I have made spectacular failures as a as a parent. I have never made a failure as a father because my heart is pure, my heart is true. And what I want for my children is what my heavenly father wants for me."   Episode Links:   Midnight Dads Book - on Amazon Midnight Dads Webpage: https://beckythompson.com/midnight-dad-devotional/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team   Conversation Transcript:
