Friends, God wants you to stop resisting the "wait" - to stop resisting the difficulty that He has allowed in your life. Waiting on marriage, waiting on babies, waiting on a dream - patience can be one of the most challenging traits to live out in a Christian life. But God desires for us to wait, just as He asked Joshua to wait.  If you are in the thick of the waiting, if you are suffering, if you are frustrated or disappointed, the mess is a means to an end - and that end is Jesus....

Nobody likes an honest mirror. It tells the whole truth and shows every flaw. The Bible is a metaphorical mirror into the state of our hearts. When we open our hearts and pray for God to examine us, we are shown that our desires and fears often stem from selfish motives or a place of distrust.  On today's episode, Delaney Woodward discusses how God is refining her personally, what it means to be searched and how we can use our discomfort and fear for His glory.  Book Reference: ...

Sex and singleness don't typically go together in a conversation - especially in Christian circles. However, we as women were ALL created as sexual beings.

On this episode, Bethany and Lindsey discuss modesty, sexuality, practical ways to battle the desire to be married in a season of singleness and how to honor Jesus in it all.  ...

On today's episode, we are discussing complaining and ingratitude, and how the deeper heart issue behind it all is sometimes believing that God is withholding good from us.  Ingratitude and complaining go hand-in-hand and it all goes back to our belief in who God is.
