Want to buy something? With Amazon Prime delivery you can have your shopping at home in the space of a few hours. What if it’s too expensive? With a little double click on your phone, you can ‘buy now and pay later’ or use a myriad of different credit cards.
We live in a culture of immediate gratification.
Even boredom is something that can be quickly escaped with an endless stream of videos, games and content on our smart phones.
The result of all this? We’re often impatient.
Yet patience is part of the fruit of the Spirit and an essential part of loving others. As Paul says, ‘Love is patient.’ (1 Corinthians 13:4). How can we grow in patience?
In this episode we welcome Bob & Julie Kauflin to the podcast. As parents to 6 children and 24 grandchildren Bob & Julie share their experience of watching God at work through the high’s and lows of parenting over more than 40 years.
