ABOUT THIS EPISODE


Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Our guest for today’s episode is my sweet friend Caroline Schandel. This is her second appearance on The Girls Night podcast. I just love her so much and knew we needed to have her back on! For those who are newer to the show or maybe missed Caroline’s first episode, she’s a brilliant speaker, Bible teacher, & writer who just released a brand new book called, Good Things Come. 

She’s been a mentor in my life for years, a woman who has taught me so much about who God is and about who I am because of who God is, and I am so so so happy we get to hear from her again!

In today’s episode we’re talking about waiting. How to trust God in the midst of long waiting seasons, how to tune into what He’s up to along the way, how God uses these seasons to transform us and more.

Friends, if you’re waiting on something today — a job, a spouse, an answer, a home, a move, a diagnosis, a positive pregnancy test — this episode is for you. 

God has us. He’s taking care of us, and I’m praying that you walk away from this episode believing that more than ever.
