How to Know What God Wants You to Do When You’re Not Sure
Om den här podden
As Christian women, sometimes we can feel lonely in our walk with Christ. Do you feel that way? Spoiler alert: it’s not true and this is the podcast to prove it. I’m Megan Edmonds, your new Christian friend who cheers you on in your walk with Christ because I believe God has given you this one life to know Him, love Him, and live for Him purposefully. Each week, we will chat about all different areas of life from a Jesus loving perspective - relationships, faith doubts, emotions, parenthood, health and hormones, anxiety, and more! I share my own experiences and practical ways to grow in our relationship with God. Join me every Thursday as we take this walk with Christ together!
