How long am I going to cry out? Am I going to wait on you? And I think that is the tension of the

Christian life. You know, so many of the things that we're waiting on God for. We don't know the

timeline. God asks us to trust him without seeing how it's going to alter now, without knowing how he's going to

answer our prayers. But looking and contemplating God's faithfulness is what grows our faith in

that time of waiting.

You're listening to God Hears Her, a podcast for women where we explore the stunning truth that God

hears you, he sees you, and he loves you because you are his. Find out how these realities free you

today on God Hears Her. Welcome to God Hears Her. I'm Elisa Morgan, and one of my co-host, Vivian Mabuni, is kicking off our conversation by introducing our guest.

Well, hello, hello, hello. This is a really great God Here's Her episode. It's just the best when we can actually have a conversation with someone we know

in real life. And so I am thrilled today to introduce to you my friend, Shannon Popkin. I've actually

had a meal in her home and sat on her couch. So it's always a thrill. If you don't know Shannon,

and Elise is here too, we're just going to have a great time,

but Shannon is an author, she's a speaker, and she has books titled Control Girl, Comparison

Girl, Comparison Girl for Teens. I mean, she speaks my language because this is where I live.

But what we're really going to focus on is her

latest book, shaped by God's Promises. Shannon has her own podcast called Live Like It's True Bible

podcast. And she's been on all sorts of different places like Family Life Today. Yay. Gospel Coalition,

Proverbs 31.

She's wonderful, and I can't wait for all of you to be able to get to know her better.

So Shannon, welcome to God hears her.

Well, thank you.

I mean, could there be a nicer introduction than that?
