Episode 13: How to Wait With Hope
We don’t like to wait. We’d rather rush ahead to whatever is next. In this season of Advent, and in a time when the world is ready to move on from our current struggle, waiting well is more important than ever.
In this episode, we’ll talk about what it means to wait with hope, and hear what God’s word says to us about waiting.
