What does it look like to trust God’s promises when you’re still waiting to see what he will do? And is it possible to experience joy when his timing or plans look different than you expected? 

In this hope-filled conversation, Melanie and Christy are joined by theologian and professor Elaina (Lainey) Mair to explore God’s covenant with Abraham and the stories of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar. Together, they talk about the temptation to take control, how fear and disappointment can affect our relationships, and what it means to know God as the One who sees us and meets us in the waiting. 

Wherever motherhood finds you today, you’ll be encouraged to grow in friendship with God and find joy in the faithfulness of our promise-making, promise-keeping God… even when your circumstances haven’t changed.

One small next step? Invite a friend to listen along with you this season, and make time to talk about what God is teaching you along the way.
