What if the places that feel impossible are the very places God is inviting you to trust Him? In today’s podcast, Stasi welcomes back Bethany Kimsey—author, teacher, and founder of Warrior Motherhood Ministries—for a conversation filled with hope and wisdom. Bethany shares how Jesus met her in seasons of exhaustion and through unexpected invitations, offered her a strength she didn’t know to ask for. Together, Stasi and Bethany discuss daily rhythms with God, listening for His voice, and receiving a kind of rest that doesn’t remove us from the messy places but carries us through them.
