Do you ever grow tired of waiting on God? Today, Andrew and Lindsey bring guests Asher and Anna Paxton on the show to share personal experiences of trusting God during challenging times, such as unexpected house swaps and financial difficulties. They emphasize the importance of holding onto hope and trusting in God's personal involvement in our lives, even when it's difficult to see the spiritual transformation that occurs. They encourage listeners to believe in God's sovereignty and trust that He has a perfect plan for us, even if it takes a lifetime to see His plan unfold and many times the resulting blessings. Our life story is significant and as Christians, we should be willing to share our stories and testimonies with others to share the message of God's goodness and faithfulness.

Lindsey shares her experience of sending her daughter to both public and private schools, encouraging trust in God's plan and cautioning against blending in with other Christians in a Christian school.

They also discuss the challenges of homeschooling, the shift from traditional trades to college education, and various options after high school, including missions trips and taking a gap year.

Ultimately, they encourage flexibility in education and emphasize the importance of prayer and seeking God's guidance for education choices, inviting the Holy Spirit into every aspect of the decision.

Andrew and Lindsey Laparra discuss how faith shapes the perspective of Christians towards work compared to non-Christians. They emphasize that while work should not fundamentally differ for Christians, the outlook and allegiance are often distinct. They encourage listeners to recognize their identity in God rather than in their profession and to not idolize work. They explore the biblical perspective on work, emphasizing its importance and purpose, and encourage individuals to approach work with a positive mindset as a blessing from God.

They discuss the importance of finding motivation and satisfaction in one's relationship with God, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and trusting and relying on community. They also address the challenges of maintaining healthy relationships, seeking discernment in career decisions, and trusting God during uncertain times.
