Where Waiting Isn't Wasting: S1E2
In this episode ofWhile I Wait, we dive deep into the concept of waiting — a season we often think of as passive, but actually, it’s a time of active preparation and obedience.
I open up about my own journey of waiting and how I’ve wrestled with the idea of being obedient in this season, even when it means stepping into areas I didn’t plan on, like starting this podcast. We’ll explore the tension of wanting to move forward but not wanting to prolong the wait, and how obedience and patience are intertwined in this season.
I’ll also give you a homework assignment to reflect on how you're actively "waiting" in your life. Tune in for encouragement and practical steps to help you thrive in your single season, with the confidence to become the best version of yourself while preparing for the future.
