When God Doesn't Feel Close.

Seasons of Waiting

After a summer break, we're back to chat with coffee on a Saturday morning with you! This week, we discussed all the challenges surrounding trying to get pregnant because it's a season close to both our hearts right now. Join us for the lessons God is teaching us, the most difficult parts of waiting for a family, the jealousy felt when others are pregnant and more! We dive into all the feels and pray for every one of you also in waiting seasons, we know how difficult it can be. We hope our conversation blesses each and every listener.

When Christians are Hard to Work With

If you've ever felt disappointed in the very people you're supposed to be working with... your spiritual family, then we've got your back! Burn out and frustration happens to every single one of us, and the trick is actually a lot of work and asking God for help, lol. There's no quick fix, but we do have a conversation full of grace, how to get through burn out, how to work well with other Christians and our prayer for you.

The Goodness of God

What is goodness? How do we show goodness? What do we do with our longing for goodness in our lives when our world is anything but "good"? Let's dive in to a conversation about all these questions and more! God's goodness is meant to be understood and reflected through our lives. So let's chat about goodness and how it should affect you and me!

When God Doesn't Feel Close.

When you have questions about talking to God, why He seems so distant, why He's silent, why He won't just give you a sign... that just means you're human! We understand these questions and have so much love to pour into your heart in this episode. God is faithful when we aren't, He's always a good friend and a good listener, and we have stories to prove it. Join us, friend, and let's seek God together. Resources:
