How Do We Trust God While We Wait?

God Is Closer Than You Think

Sometimes God’s presence is easier to recognize in the good seasons of life—but what about the difficult ones?   In this episode, we talk about how God is closer than we think. Through Scripture, we’ll be reminded that God is not distant, that His presence brings rest, joy, and comfort, and that the same God who was with Moses is with us today.   I hope this episode encourages you to draw near to God and find hope in His presence, no matter what season you’re walking through.

How Do We Trust God While We Wait?

Waiting on God isn’t always easy.   When we’re waiting for answers, healing, direction, or a breakthrough, it can be tempting to become discouraged or question God’s timing. Yet Scripture reminds us that those who trust in the Lord are like trees planted by water—steady, rooted, and sustained through every season.   In this episode, we’ll explore: • What Jeremiah 17 teaches us about trusting God • How Hannah remained faithful while she waited • Why waiting can strengthen our faith • Encouragement for staying rooted in Christ when the answers don’t come right away   I hope this episode encourages you to keep trusting God, even in seasons of waiting. Remember, the God who sustained Hannah is the same God who sustains us today.

Mary Chose What Was Better

Have the demands of life been crowding out time with Jesus?   In this episode, we look at the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38–42 and what Jesus meant when He said that Mary had “chosen what was better.”   Martha wasn’t doing anything wrong—she was serving. Yet Jesus gently reminded her that His presence mattered more than her endless list of responsibilities.   If you’ve been feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or pulled in a hundred different directions, this episode is a reminder to slow down, sit at the feet of Jesus, and make room for what matters most.   Together we’ll explore: • What Martha and Mary can teach us about priorities • Why time with Jesus is never wasted • How busyness can quietly crowd out our relationship with God • Practical encouragement for staying rooted in Christ   I hope this episode encourages you to spend a few quiet moments with Jesus today and reflect on what truly matters.

Keep Reaching For God

Sometimes we grow tired. Sometimes we wonder if our prayers matter. And sometimes we simply need a reminder to keep trusting God.   In this mid-week encouragement, we briefly reflect on Hannah, the woman who reached for Jesus in faith, and Samson’s return to God. Through each story, we are reminded that God sees us, hears our prayers, and invites us to keep reaching for Him—even when life feels difficult.   We’ll also spend a few moments in prayer, asking God to strengthen our faith and help us trust Him through whatever this week may bring.   If this episode encourages you, follow the podcast so you don’t miss Saturday’s episode, Mary Chose What Was Better.

She Reached For Jesus Anyway

In this episode, we reflect on the woman with the flow of blood and what it means to keep reaching for Jesus even in seasons of suffering, disappointment, and waiting. After twelve years of pain and unanswered questions, she refused to stop reaching for Him. Her story reminds us that faith is not always having the answers—it is continuing to trust God and draw near to Him, even when life feels heavy.   Scripture References: Mark 5:25–34 Matthew 9:20–22 Luke 8:43–48   You’re always welcome here—follow the podcast so you don’t miss the next episode.
