In this episode, I sit down with author and entrepreneur, Jenessa Wait, to talk about waiting on God when nothing seems to be happening. Her book, Moving with God, is all about getting unstuck and taking faithful steps toward what He's placed on your heart, even when you can't see the path.
We talk about active waiting, which means preparing, praying, and stewarding what's already in your hands instead of sitting still. We also talk about how to tell the difference between God's promises and our own desires, and how the long way with Jesus is always better than a shortcut without Him.
If you're in a season where the waiting feels endless, this conversation is a reminder that God doesn't waste our pain. You don't have to see the whole path to take the next faithful step.
