What if your frustration in life isn't about your circumstances, but your expectations? 

Are you expecting ease when God promises endurance? Are you frustrated because you've been shaped by culture instead of Scripture? How often do we fail to realize that our expectations are steering the direction of our lives and our faith

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," the host, Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret), and his wingman, Christy Mendelow, ask the hard questions: 

  • Where are your expectations coming from? 
  • Are they aligned with who you are in Christ? 
  • Are you prepared for struggle or just hoping to avoid it? 

      If you're serious about walking out your faith in the real world, you can't afford to overlook the expectations shaping your thinking and actions. 

      Your expectations matter. They determine everything. 

      Tune in now. Real talk. Real faith. Real answers. Don't miss it.
