Faith in Progress is a podcast for ministers in the making. Hosted by William Lassiter, a young MIT navigating family, church, life, and the road to divinity school, this show is about real growth in the middle of stubborn obedience. Through solo reflections, life updates, and guest conversations, each episode offers honest encouragement for those becoming who God called them to be—even when the path isn’t clear. If you’re still in process, you’re not alone.
🎙️ Episode Description — “Choosing to Heal While Carrying a Calling”
Many of us feel called by God… but stretched by life. We’re trying to be faithful in ministry, present in our families, committed in our work, and steady in our growth — all while carrying pressures we rarely talk about out loud.
In this honest, teaching‑style episode, William opens up about the moment he realized he was carrying more internally than he was acknowledging externally — and the courageous decision to start therapy as an act of wisdom, not weakness.
Anchored in Matthew 11:28–30, this episode explores:
• Why calling doesn’t cancel capacity — even Jesus rested, withdrew, and honored His humanity.
• How therapy becomes a tool for stewardship — not a sign of failure, but a commitment to health.
• Why healthy leaders lead healthy lives — and how God meets us where our strength runs out.
If you’ve been trying to carry everything alone… if you’ve been feeling tired, stretched, or quietly overwhelmed… this episode will remind you that God cares about your soul, not just your service. Healing is holy. Rest is spiritual. And you don’t have to do this by yourself.

Faith When Progress Feels Slow
When you’re doing everything you know to do — praying, showing up, serving, trying to grow — but nothing seems to be moving, it’s easy to wonder if God has gone quiet. In this teaching‑style episode, William unpacks what Scripture says about the seasons where progress feels delayed, invisible, or painfully slow.
Drawing from Habakkuk 2:3, this episode explores three core truths:
• God’s timing isn’t inactivity — He often develops us before He delivers us.
• Faith grows in the waiting — not in the moments where everything comes together.
• What God schedules, God sustains — your job is obedience; His job is outcome.
Whether you’re navigating slow progress in your calling, your family, your healing, or your spiritual growth, this episode will help you recognize God’s work in the quiet places and trust His pace over your own.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overlooked, or behind — this one will breathe hope back into you.
