In this episode, Marnie and Shawna Sullivan discuss those important “stay” or “go” decisions. Shawna shares how over a span of 13 years, as her family prayed and waited, God made both “stay” and then “go” not just clear, but even filled with peace and joy.

Marnie and Shawna chat about:

• How in the waiting season, the question, “What if God brought us here for more than just ourselves?” became an anchor.
• How God answered Shawna’s family’s prayers by confirming, “Stay,” and then in His timing, led them to “Go.”
• How in God’s kindness, He will answer and even re-confirm His answer.
• How in our waiting seasons, God’s Word is sufficient.
