Confident Expectation: Put All Your Trust in God with Michelle McCallum of A Common Life

"Have confident expectation of God."

When Michelle McCallum's mom spoke these words many years ago, Michelle had no idea they would hold such profound meaning for her when two of her own children were diagnosed with chronic illness (both with rare liver diseases and one with Crohn's Disease).

In this Easter podcast, Michelle talks about her choice to trust God--Michelle recognizes she has very little control over her life or the lives of her children and surrenders everything to Him.

Michelle shares how having a heart of gratitude, being real about both the difficulty and blessings of her everyday life and trusting God's abiding presence helps her to live in the peace and joy only God can give.

Special Needs and a Novena

Hilda Bradshaw talks about her experience raising her son with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and clinging to God in prayer, including a novena her grandmother taught her. Hilda shares how raising her son is a blessing and has taught her to completely depend on God, let go of expectations about her children's futures and trust that God will always provide her family with exactly what they need.

Trust God and Wait

Featured guest Mary Thompson shares the critical moment her father was supposed to meet her family at a train station after escaping Yugoslavia on foot. When he did not show up, Mary watched her mother's faith-filled response. This example taught Mary to have a profound trust in God--a trust she has continued to practice throughout her life, including during her young daughter's serious illness and her own struggle with cancer.
