What does it look like when we aren't hearing from God? Is He silent? Or is it our posture towards him? Are we listening for the voice of God?

This week, Blaine and Laken take a minute (or 26) to talk through what seasons of desert land look like for each of them. There's also some helpful advice for navigating these seasons, and it might not be what you expect. Share your feedback with us!

You've heard the saying, "It takes a village," but what does that really look like in everyday life? Do you have to be a parent to use the expression? Does it only apply to people who have kids? How do you find your village, your people to help you navigate each season of life?

We break down what parenting with a village looks like in this week's episode. But, we don't stop there! Laken and Blaine each describe what this decades-old saying means for them personally and in different seasons, not just parenthood. We also offer ways for you to be the village for someone else.

As always, please leave us a 5-star rating if you enjoyed this episode. Thanks, fam!
