The Sound of Silence

Still Waiting

Send us a message. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2515798/fan_mail/new] Waiting isn't easy—but throughout Scripture, God often accomplishes His greatest work while His people wait. In Episode 6 of the Come and See at Vanville Podcast, Dan and Sean explore what it means to wait on God's timing. Through examples from Scripture, they discuss how seasons of waiting can strengthen our faith, build our character, and prepare us for the plans God has for us. One of the greatest examples is the life of Joseph, whose years of hardship, uncertainty, and waiting ultimately revealed God's perfect purpose. His story reminds us that even when we can't see what God is doing, He is always at work behind the scenes. Join Dan and Sean as they examine what the Bible teaches about trusting God, remaining faithful, and finding hope while we wait for His perfect timing.

The Sound of Silence

In Episode 5 of the Come and See at Vanville Podcast, Dan and Sean explore the many ways God speaks and works through silence. Sometimes He calls us into seasons of waiting, as He did with Joseph, shaping our character and preparing us for what's ahead. Other times, He speaks not through dramatic displays of power, but in a gentle whisper, just as He did with Elijah. Together, they examine what Scripture teaches about trusting God when He seems silent, finding purpose in the waiting, and learning to recognize His voice in life's quiet moments. Featuring reflections from Psalm 22:2, Psalm 83:1, and other biblical passages, this episode offers encouragement for anyone walking through a season of uncertainty or waiting.
