Summary
Have you experienced discouragement in the progress of your family or change you would like to see in your family or marriage? Do you tend to struggle with thinking you can take on more? The current state of reality in Western Culture is one of ease in comparison to what will likely come and what we all experienced just five years ago in 2020. What we do now is important! We must be raising our children up and modeling for them what it looks like to choose to work hard now, to grow in learning new things now! Join Isaac and Angie as they discuss the importance of making hard choices, not choosing the easy path, and seeing that all our lives have incredible purpose for this time. If you are in a season of trial or suffering, be encouraged in the midst of hard circumstances to continue persevering!
