My friend, Lauren Lianne and I have a very raw conversation about the hardship of singleness, how to trust God with something you so desperately want, and what to do when the doubts creep in that maybe God isn't good or doesn't have your best in mind.In this episode, we discuss: How do we navigate the gap between our hopes and reality? How do we be honest about our feelings but also trust God when we're disappointed?When the gap gets too big between you and God, where do you go from there?How vital it is to invite other people into your loneliness, hurt, and most importantly the need to confess your secret sin to another person.How is the wait in our favor?How does pain serve a purpose?What does it look like to have faith in singleness or in any season of waiting?Scripture mentioned: Rom 8:22-25Psalm 34:18Hebrews 6:19Hebrews 12:2Jeremiah 29:11Resources mentioned: Lauren's book: The Wait Will Not Be WastedMore about LaurenFollow Lauren on instagram
