Don't look back: God is doing a new thing

Waiting Well - Esther, obedience & the power of waiting

In this episode of the Renewed Rebel Podcast, Coach Eva shares how a simple devotional on *Waiting Well* led her back to one of the most impactful lessons she has learned from the book of Esther. For much of her life, Eva believed that if she didn't take control, force outcomes, work harder, or make things happen herself, nothing would happen at all. But through Esther's story, God has been teaching her a different way—one of preparation, obedience, patience, prayer, and trust. Together, we'll explore: • Why Esther never rushed to fix or force outcomes • The power of preparation before promotion • How favor followed Esther's obedience • Why she chose fasting instead of panic when crisis came • What it means to actively wait on God through prayer, worship, gratitude, and obedience • How God defended what Esther refused to manipulate • The powerful picture of the Gospel found in Esther's "second decree" If you're waiting for clarity, healing, restoration, justice, or an answered prayer, this episode is an encouragement to trust that God is still working—even when you can't see it. Because waiting is not wasted. And sometimes God's greatest work happens in the seasons where He teaches us to wait well.

Why did God wait? | Trials, Suffering & The mystery of Gods timing.

I've been sitting in 1 Kings 17 this week, and I can't stop thinking about this question: Why did God wait three years? Why did Elijah have to sit by a drying brook? Why did a widow have to get down to her very last handful of flour and oil? Why does God so often seem to show up at the 11th hour? We love stories of miraculous provision. What we don't always love is the waiting that comes before it. The suffering. The uncertainty. The wondering if God sees us at all. This week's podcast isn't a polished answer. It's an honest conversation about suffering, waiting, God's glory, and what might be happening in the hidden seasons we don't understand. If you've ever found yourself asking: "God, why is this taking so long?" or "Why would a good God allow this?" I think this conversation is for you. 🎙️ New episode on the Renewed Rebel Podcast.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year?

In this episode, I share the story of my first Christmas after my marriage broke — the year everything familiar felt foreign and the holidays didn’t look like they used to. Instead of peace and joy, I walked through grief, uncertainty, and a heart I didn’t know how to hold together. But it was also the season I encountered Jesus in a way I never had before. We’ll look at the Christmas story through Mary and Joseph’s eyes, and talk about what it means to carry a promise through discomfort, loss, unanswered questions, and unexpected change. If your holidays feel heavy this year, I want you to know you’re not alone — and there is still hope, still purpose, still presence, even in the ache.

The Process to the Promise: Part 2

In this heartfelt episode, Coach Eva reflects on her daughter’s tenth birthday and the unexpected turns life has taken since. Through Isaiah 43, the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda, and the disciples caught in the storm of Mark 6, she shares how God’s redemption often begins with obedience in the middle of uncertainty. This episode is a reminder that the same God who parted the sea, healed the broken, and walked on water is still doing a new thing — even when we can’t see it yet. follow on socials: @coachevawhatup @renewedrebelspodcast

The Process to the Promise: Part 1 In the quiet place.

In this deeply personal episode, Coach Eva opens up about a season of heartbreak, regret, and redemption — and how God used the quiet places to bring healing she didn’t even know she needed. After a wild summer and a long stretch of trying to numb the pain, she found herself drawn back to God’s whisper: “I have already made a way; you only need to walk in it.” Through the story of the widow’s oil in 2 Kings 4, Eva shares what it means to obey God’s voice when no one’s watching, to “shut the door” on distractions, and to trust the process that prepares you for the promise. If you’ve ever felt stuck between what God said and what you see — this episode will remind you that your quiet season isn’t wasted. It’s where the oil flows, where obedience builds strength, and where God does His best work behind closed doors. Includes: Raw reflections on heartbreak and healing Biblical encouragement from 2 Kings 4 and Matthew 6:6 A guided prayer for obedience, trust, and spiritual renewal 🎙️ Tune in for encouragement, reflection, and a reminder that God’s process is always worth the wait.
