How can we intentionally root ourselves upon the Lord in such a way that when the unexpected comes and rocks us, we are able to remain firm in our faith? How can we practically keep the gospel in front of us on the days where everything seems to weigh heavy and we feel overwhelmed? We are talking about how the Lord tenderly meets us and reminds us of his presence through his word, prayer and the lives of others. How can we partner with others in a way that allows them a safe place to open up and share while also gently offers the hope of the gospel?

On today’s episode, I am chatting with Melanie Matthews, a wife and mother of three, as we continue on in our series on gospel-centered parenting. We’re talking about how we can apply the gospel when life looks different than we envisioned.

What do you currently find yourself waiting for right now? It can be so easy for us to feel like our lives are “on hold” while we wait; for our “waiting” to become our focus, all that we see. We are kicking off our relationship series by sitting down with katy anderson. We are talking about singleness and how we can learn to wait well in a way that glorifies God. What does this look like in our day to day? How can we keep the focus of our “wait” from occupying our minds and becoming an idol?
