Summary

In last week's episode, we revealed the news of our big life transition as a family. Though this particular move was a big one for us, you've likely faced life transitions of all sizes. The end of summer and the beginning of school. Job loss. A new child. The death of a parent or grandparent.

No matter how big or small, all transitions feel important. That's why so many of us want to know that we're hearing from God as we discern what He's doing and pray through next steps and the days ahead. In this episode, we share a behind-the-scenes look at our recent decision-making process and how we discern when God just might be up to something.

We talk about:

Why transparency with God makes all the difference
Why it's important to pay attention when something feels "off"
How to recognize what you might be idolizing and discerning if your decisions are in their purest form
How to make the little ones under your roof feel seen and loved in the middle of transition
