We all have a God-given need to feel valued, significant, and as if our life matters. While Scripture tells us that God has important, kingdom-focused plans for each of us, it can be hard to recognize this when life feels routine and monotonous. How can we live fulfilled in the "daily grind" of going to work, raising families, and managing all our other necessary and seemingly mundane tasks? In this episode, hosts Jennifer Slattery and Carol McCracken discuss the importance of listening for God's direction, remaining faithful to what He's calling us to do, and finding our value in Him, not our performance. Discussing King David, King Saul, and the Old Testament prophet Elisha, they remind listeners that God won't waste their gifts or experiences. He uses everything to mold us into men and women ready and prepared to do His will, and there's beauty in that.
