How do you stay hopeful when your hopes unravel? Where is God when prayers feel dormant or a cherished dream lays in embers at your feet?
In the pilot episode of Listen to Your Life, Bailey Gillespie guides us through the idea that the given life unfolding before us (rather than the imagined life in our head) is inevitably a life marked by longings. Yet these longings are a taste of wholeness — they point us to eternity and are the very places where we encounter God's healing presence.
Bailey is a writer from Northern California who helps others live well and enjoy a meaningful life with God.
