Waiting Well w/ Tawina McNeely

Ryan Dawn Holland
About this episode

Episode 1: Waiting Well with Tawina McNeely

Our special guest is someone seasoned in waiting FAITHFULLY on God. As she shares vulnerably about her personal experiences waiting for a green card, getting into nursing school, and trying to conceive, Tawina reminds us of the importance of anchoring ourselves in the word of God.

On this episode, we will explore the definition of “seasons of waiting,” the consequences of rushing God’s plans for our lives, the temptation to make God’s promises our god, and the challenge of comparing our blessings to the blessings of those around us. Come join me in learning how to #WaitWell from Tawina !
