What do we do when we face challenges in our ministry and are not sure what to do next? We all find ourselves in seasons of waiting sometimes in our lives and ministry…they may be short or longer that we expected…either way it is hard waiting on directions from God. This week Val and Virginia discuss what they are learning about waiting and how to discover the next right thing to do.

Building relationships as an adult is not always easy, especially if you are an introvert or have an insanely busy schedule.
