Episode 150: Finding Hope in the Waiting

Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! 

Sometimes we think we’re waiting on God, but we’re actually waiting on Him to deliver one specific outcome. In this episode, Dot and Cara reflect on what it means to trust God while we wait. They encourage us to find hope in the Christmas story and remind us that God’s timing is perfect, even when He doesn’t deliver the exact answer we were hoping for. Pull up a chair and join us for our final episode of 2023!
