Summary

Ruth Chou Simons (!!!) is here today, reminding us growth and goodness can be found even in—especially in—the minutes (or months!) we’re tempted to believe are wasted. Those creative projects you thought went nowhere? Meaningful. Sitting with your toddler or teen talking about mind-numbing topics? Meaningful. No matter what struggle or tough season you’re currently facing, we hope this conversation encourages you to slow down, let God reroute you however He’d like, and embrace the idea that inefficiency sometimes means making room for what’s most important.

For more encouragement in your motherhood journey, check out the stories at Coffee + Crumbs.

This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous and loving Patreon community. If you’d like to support the work we do for as little as $1/month, head to Patreon.com/coffeeandcrumbs to join the party (where we host episode discussions, bonus content, and more!).
