Episode 2:8 Wait...Waiting Was Before the Fall???

What if waiting isn’t just a result of living in a broken world? In this episode, we look at Genesis 2 and the surprising realization that waiting existed before sin ever entered the world. Why didn’t God create Eve at the same time as Adam? Why the delay if nothing was broken? Together we explore: * the purpose of waiting * what happens when we try to force what God hasn’t given yet * God’s perfect timing * and how waiting may be shaping us more than we realize If you’re in a season of uncertainty, longing, or feeling forgotten, this episode is a reminder that God is not rushed, not absent, and not late. ✨ Food for thought: Where in your life are you assuming something is wrong… when God may actually have you waiting on purpose?
