Still Waiting: Delay by Design

JOHN & LISA BEVERE, MESSENGER NETWORK
About this episode

What if God is using the delays in your life for a greater purpose?

Like the trials faced by Joseph, David, and Daniel, delays will refine the purity of your desires, and help you to lean into God's promises as the source of your hope.

These delays, as challenging as they may seem, play a crucial role in building the character necessary to fulfill God's promises.

In this episode of the Conversations podcast, join John and guest Arden Bevere as they discuss practical insights on navigating the waiting season, guarding your heart against discouragement and despair, and anchoring yourself in the promises of God.

Tune in to be equipped to lean into God's unwavering promises and to learn how to embrace God's work in your life as you wait for them to come to pass!
