Podcasts about waiting on god

What if the darkest seasons of your life are not evidence that God has abandoned you—but the very soil where He is quietly growing something good? This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m talking with my dear friend Nicole Jacobsmeyer, author of Something Good Will Grow. Through her experiences with cancer, miscarriage, depression, rejection, and other deep wounds, Nicole has learned that God’s goodness is not absent in our suffering—even when we cannot yet see what He is doing. Nicole shares the beautiful imagery of flowers that bloom at night, quietly opening in the darkness for an audience of One. Together, we talk about trusting God when life feels like more than we can handle, waiting when our prayers seem unanswered, wrestling honestly with doubt, and loving others well through seasons of suffering. If you are walking through a painful or uncertain season, I pray this conversation reminds you that you have not been forgotten. God is with you in the darkness, His grace is sufficient, and something good can still grow.

Ask, Believe, Dream Bigger: The Greater Things Jesus Promised – John 14:12–14 In Episode 149 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane slow down and dive into just three powerful verses—John 14:12–14—where Jesus makes an astonishing promise about faith, prayer, and the “greater works” His followers will do. What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”? And what do we do with His invitation to “ask me for anything in my name”? Together, Jamie and Jane explore the difference between dreaming with God and simply asking Him to bless our plans. They talk about bold prayers, surrendered dreams, expectations, and what it means to believe that God can accomplish more through our lives than we could ever manufacture on our own. Maybe we've been praying too safely. Maybe we've allowed disappointment to shrink what we're willing to ask God for. John 14 invites us to believe again, ask boldly, dream with God—and remember that ultimately, it is all for the glory of the Father. Reflection Question: Have I allowed fear, disappointment, or past unanswered prayers to make my prayers smaller—and what might God be inviting me to ask Him for again? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Why does God allow evil to continue? Why does it feel like prayers go unanswered? Why doesn't God do something? These are some of the most honest and painful questions a believer can ask, and they are not new. The people of Israel asked the same thing in the Book of Malachi, and their struggle led them to a dangerous place where they began to question not just God's actions but His character. This message from Malachi 2 and 3 tackles the theological concept known as theodicy, the question of how a good and just God can exist alongside evil and suffering. Rather than offering easy answers, it provides four biblical anchors to hold onto when you are in a season of waiting, confusion, or pain. First, remember who God is. His character does not change based on your circumstances. He is holy, just, all-knowing, and all-loving. What you know about Him is enough to carry you through what you do not understand. Second, remember how God works. God is never early and never late. He is always right on time. Just as Jesus arrived at the tomb of Lazarus with purpose and precision, God's timing in your life is never a mistake. Third, remember what God is doing. Malachi 3 describes God as a refiner sitting close to the fire. He does not walk away while you are in the furnace. He is near, watching, and working. Sometimes God does not remove the fire because He is using it to refine something in you. The goal of that refining is that His image becomes visible in your life. Fourth, remember what God will do. Malachi 3:5 promises that God will come as a swift witness against injustice. Every wrong will be addressed. Every pain will be removed. God has not forgotten, and He is not indifferent. His ultimate answer to the world's deepest questions is Jesus Christ, the messenger of the covenant, who is coming again to make all things right. Whether you are struggling with unanswered prayer, unexplained suffering, or the silence of God, this message offers hope grounded in Scripture. Topics covered include the meaning of theodicy, the story of Shadrach Meshach and Abednego, the refiner's fire in Malachi, trusting God in suffering, and how to wait on God with faith.

Troubled World, Untroubled Heart: Trusting Jesus When Life Feels Uncertain – John 14:1–11 In Episode 147 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into John 14:1–11, where Jesus speaks some of His most comforting words to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Jesus knows what is coming. The disciples are facing uncertainty, confusion, and fear—yet He doesn't promise them an easy road. Instead, He gives them something greater: Himself. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to have an untroubled heart in a troubled world, why trusting God doesn't require understanding everything He's doing, and the hope found in Jesus' declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When the world feels uncertain, our circumstances don't have to determine the condition of our hearts. Jesus invites us to trust Him, know the Father through Him, and find peace in the promise that He is preparing the way. If your heart has felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what's ahead, John 14 is an invitation to remember who Jesus is—and why you can trust Him. What is troubling my heart right now—and what would change if I trusted Jesus with it instead of trying to control the outcome? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Faithful Through Betrayal: Love, Loyalty, and the New Commandment – John 13:18–38 In Episode 146 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 13:18–38, where the final hours before the cross reveal both the beauty of Christ's love and the heartbreak of human failure. Jesus foretells Judas' betrayal, predicts Peter's denial, and gives His disciples a new commandment that will forever define His followers: "Love one another as I have loved you." Together, they explore how Jesus responded to betrayal with compassion, why our identity is rooted in Christ rather than our failures, and what it truly means to love others with the same grace we've received. Even in the face of rejection and abandonment, Jesus remained faithful to His mission—and He invites us to do the same. This episode is a powerful reminder that while people may disappoint us, Jesus never will. His love is stronger than betrayal, His grace is greater than our failures, and His call to love remains at the center of the Christian life. How can I reflect the love of Jesus toward someone who has hurt me, disappointed me, or failed me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Are you waiting on God… or is God waiting on you? This week on The Breakdown Podcast, Matthew Rhoads sat down with Pastor James to break down the message "Waiting on God?" rooted in Joshua 3:1–17, Joshua 1:9, and 2 Corinthians 5:7. Their conversation explores the moment the Israelites stood at the edge of the Jordan River—with a promise in front of them and a decision to make—and how God often calls us to take a step of faith before He reveals the way. They discuss what it looks like to trust God when you feel stuck, how faith requires movement, and why obedience often comes before clarity. If you've been caught between where you are and where God is leading you, this conversation will encourage you to step forward with confidence, even when you can't see the full picture.

If we are going to see things correctly, we need to look at them eyes for God, as instructed by His Word.

If we are going to see things correctly, we need to look at them eyes for God, as instructed by His Word.

Why didn't David kill Saul when he had the perfect opportunity? In this Bible study through 1 Samuel 26–28, we explore the striking contrast between David and Saul. While Saul grows increasingly driven by fear, pride, and the flesh, David learns to trust God's timing rather than forcing God's promises. This session also examines one of the most challenging passages in Scripture—the account of Saul and the medium of Endor. Instead of offering simplistic answers, we consider what the text clearly teaches about God's sovereignty, spiritual authority, and the importance of approaching difficult passages with humility. Whether you're facing injustice, waiting on God's timing, or wrestling with questions about difficult biblical texts, this study points us back to a timeless truth: God is still in control, and faith trusts Him even when we don't understand everything.

The Towel and the Basin: The Heart of a Servant – John 13:1–17 In Episode 145 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin one of the most intimate and transformative sections of the Gospel of John. In John 13:1–17, Jesus—the King of kings—kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, revealing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in humble service. Together, they unpack the significance of this unforgettable moment, exploring what it means to love sacrificially, lead with humility, and serve others with the heart of Christ. Peter's struggle to accept Jesus' act of service also reminds us that following Jesus means learning both to receive His grace and to extend it to others. This episode is an invitation to exchange pride for humility, status for service, and self-centered living for the example Jesus modeled on the night before the cross. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to admire His example—we're called to live it. Who is Jesus inviting me to serve with humility this week, and am I willing to lay down my pride to love like He loved?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

For the believer, patience is not personality-driven—it is faith-driven. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that true patience is built on the absolute confidence that God is sovereign over every detail of our lives. Jesus reminds us that not even a sparrow falls outside the Father's care, and that even the hairs of our heads are numbered. If God watches over the smallest details of creation, His children can trust that they are neither forgotten nor forsaken. Nothing escapes His loving, eternal care. Dr. Youssef points to James' examples of patience. Like a farmer who plants seed and waits for the harvest, we must trust God's timing without trying to force or inspect His work too soon. And like Job, we are called to endure fierce trials without denying the Lord, believing that God has a purpose even when the pain is deep. There will be seasons when life feels like a holding pattern. We long to move on, but God calls us to wait, trust, and learn patience. When impatience rises, look up to the Savior who loves you, is coming back for you, and has prepared a great reward for those who endure in faith. Pray with me. Father God, You are sovereign. As I wait on Your work in my life, I pray You would bring to mind opportunities and ways that I might serve You with honor. I desire to show my faithfulness in this time of waiting. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Joining us on Focus Today was Bill Gallagher, counselor and founder of Teamworks. He discusses why waiting on God's timing is often one of the greatest challenges of the Christian life and how seasons of waiting can strengthen faith, build character, and reveal God's purpose.

Waiting on God can be difficult when we want to take control of our circumstances and find security in the things around us. Psalm 62 reminds us to place our confidence in God alone, remembering the truth of who He is and keeping the right perspective when everything else feels uncertain. The post Waiting On God Alone appeared first on Caz Church.

Death Leads to Life: The Way of Jesus – John 12:27–50 In Episode 143 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore the closing section of John 12, where Jesus begins preparing His followers for the reality of the cross. Through His powerful teaching about the grain of wheat that must die to produce life, Jesus reveals a kingdom principle that changes everything: death leads to life. Together, they unpack what it means to surrender our own plans, ambitions, and desires so that God can produce something greater through us. As Jesus calls people out of darkness and into His light, this passage challenges us to consider where we are resisting surrender and where God may be inviting us into deeper trust. This conversation is a reminder that what feels like loss in God's hands often becomes the very place where new life begins. What is God asking me to surrender today so that He can bring greater life through it tomorrow? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

A Fragrant Offering: Worship, Surrender, and the Anointing Oil – John 12:1–27 In Episode 142 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 12:1–27, where Mary pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus in one of the most beautiful acts of worship found in Scripture. While others questioned her sacrifice, Jesus honored her devotion, revealing a heart fully surrendered to Him. Together, they unpack the significance of the anointing oil, the contrast between worship and criticism, and what it means to offer Jesus our very best. As the chapter unfolds, Jesus begins preparing His followers for the cross, teaching that true life is found through surrender and sacrifice. This conversation invites listeners to consider what they are holding back from God and challenges us to move beyond convenient faith into wholehearted worship. What is Jesus inviting me to pour out at His feet as an act of worship and surrender? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Waiting On God by Ebenezer Endiryas

Join pastor Richard as he continues to focus on our devotions to the Lord. The devotion today is waiting on God,Scripture References:1 Thessalonians 4:13-18Galatians 6:7-92 Timothy 2:3-7Acts 1:4-8

Watching her two teenagers anxiously search for answers and clarity, Keri Eichberger found herself thinking the very thing any seasoned parent might: just wait on the Lord, and peace will come. And then, almost immediately, she caught herself — because she is just as guilty of demanding answers right away, just as unsettled by a foggy path forward, and just as prone to reaching for immediate solutions instead of patient trust. In this honest and peace-filling episode, Keri speaks directly to the restless, stirring spirit that so many of us carry, and offers a gentle but grounding invitation: what your soul needs right now may not be an answer. It may be patience. Romans 8:25 is simple and searching all at once: if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. And while hoping for what we cannot see is genuinely hard, Keri reminds us that our hope does not rest on the unknown — it rests on what we already know to be true. We know God is good. We know His provision comes at the perfect time. We know His promises do not fail. Anchoring our hope to those unchanging realities is what produces the kind of peace-filled patience that steadies a shaken soul, smooths a scattered mind, and settles an unsettled heart — right here, in the waiting, before the answer ever arrives. Today's Bible Verse "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."— Romans 8:25, NIV Ponder Today The unrest you feel may need peace more than it needs resolution. Not every stirring in our souls signals that something must change immediately. Sometimes the situation just needs an infusion of patient trust while God's plan continues to unfold. Our hope is grounded not in what we don't yet know, but in what we already do. We know God is good. We know He provides. We know His plans for us do not fail. That settled knowledge is the foundation for genuine, patient hope. Patience and peace are deeply connected. Keri observes that with more patience comes more peace, and with more peace comes greater enjoyment of the very day we are living. Impatience costs us the present moment while we strain toward the future. A Prayer for You Today Lord God, You are the God of all hope, and all my hope is in You. So often I seek answers, solutions, and change — scurrying and stressing over what hasn't happened yet. But more than I need immediate resolution, I need patience to wait on You. I find that patience when I place my hope in Your promises: that You have good plans for me, that You will guide me, and that You will provide all I need at just the right time. Lord, I pour out my praise for Your love and for the patience You offer that brings precious peace and joy all through my life. Thank You, Jesus. In Your wonderful name, Amen.

If you have been waiting on God for longer than a year and are starting to wonder if He has forgotten about you, this episode is for you.Waiting on God is not passive. There are three distinct phases, and most people get stuck in one without realizing it. In this episode, I walk you through all three phases, what each one feels like from the inside, and the one practical move you need to make at each stage.What we cover:Phase 1: The First 90 Days — You prayed, you believed, and the answer has not come. The faith energy is still there, but the doubt is starting to creep in. The prayer that needs to change and why.Phase 2: The Six-Month Wall — The early faith energy is gone. You told people God was going to come through, and now you are embarrassed. This is the most dangerous phase, the one where most people either give up or force the thing they have been waiting on. What to do instead.Phase 3: Year One and Beyond — A year in, there are two roads. Deeper surrender and a different kind of peace, or bitterness and a quiet faith that stopped expecting anything. What it actually looks like to choose the first road and what it produces.I share a specific 18-month season where a deal I had been trusting God over collapsed at the last hour. What that taught me about God's timing, financial patience, and what it means to surrender to a deadline without surrendering belief.If this episode helped you, the next one to listen to is about what to do financially while you are in the waiting room.

Raised: When Jesus Calls the Dead to Life – John 11:27–57 In Episode 141 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore one of the most powerful miracles in all of Scripture—the raising of Lazarus in John 11:27–57. As grief, doubt, hope, and faith collide, Jesus declares Himself to be “the resurrection and the life” before calling Lazarus from the tomb. Together, they unpack what this miracle reveals about the heart of God, the power of belief, and how Jesus often works in ways that stretch our faith beyond what we can see. This chapter is not only about a man being raised from the dead—it's about a Savior who brings life into every place that feels hopeless, buried, or beyond redemption. If you've ever wondered whether God can still move in what feels impossible, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus specializes in resurrection. What area of my life feels beyond hope—and am I willing to believe that Jesus still brings dead things back to life?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

When terrible things happen in our communities or around the world, fear can quickly rise in our hearts. But Jesus asks a piercing question: “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points believers back to the futility of anxiety and the faithfulness of the Father. Our attitude toward possessions often reveals our spiritual temperature. When our homes, cars, education, clothing, bank accounts, or future security become more important than our relationship with Christ, anxiety and fear take root. But when we practice daily surrender—placing our fears, desires, and worries into Jesus' hands—we discover the inner peace only He can give. Dr. Youssef reminds us that God has promised to provide for all our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus. When anxiety overtakes us, it is often because we have temporarily forgotten the privileges we possess as children of the King. Our future is secure, our deepest longings will be satisfied, and God is working all things for the good of those who love Him. Waiting is never easy, but God's purpose is served when we wait on Him. He has already prepared the answer to your anxiety—and He is preparing you for His answer. Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, listen to His voice, submit to His direction, and trust that He will provide. Prayer: Father, help me to daily surrender my fears, anxieties, and desires to You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Spontaneous short episodes recorded Off The Cuff from the heart and life of Matt Knoll

Every heartache, frustration, disappointment, and failure can become an instrument in God's hands—not to crush you, but to draw you nearer. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges you to ask a powerful question in the middle of oppression: How can I turn this situation into an opportunity for God? Here are several faith-strengthening responses to trouble: Remember God is with you. You are never facing life alone. When His voice feels quiet, choose patience—be still, wait, and trust before you make your next move. Keep a positive mindset. This isn't denial. It's deliberate focus—choosing to keep your eyes on Christ and believing God is fulfilling His purpose even through pain. Look for God's hand in the storm. Trials can be evidence of His nearness—His loving presence surrounding you, grieving when you're mistreated, and moving on your behalf. Do not lose heart. God will supply the strength, wisdom, courage, and comfort you need to take the next faithful step—especially when life feels impossible. If you're facing pressure right now, this devotional will help you trade despair for perspective and move forward with confidence that God is actively at work—for your good and His glory. Prayer: God, it's difficult for me to understand why I am going through the struggles that I am, but I know that You can use them to draw me closer to You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “[W]e also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us” (Romans 5:3-5). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

When a difficult situation hits, where do you turn first—your own problem-solving, other people, or the Lord? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges a common habit: trusting our minds to carry us through life, then “withdrawing” our surrender the moment God's way feels inconvenient. God gave us minds to use, but He calls us to humble ourselves before the One who created them. There will be moments when only God's wisdom can lead to the right solution—and no problem is too great for Him, even when you feel trapped by circumstances. Dr. Youssef offers a memorable picture: just as an investment account can't mature with constant withdrawals, your faith struggles to grow when you repeatedly take back control after “depositing” your life into God's hands. Surrender is not passive resignation—it is trusting God enough to let Him do His deepest work in you: transforming your heart and mind into the likeness of Christ. If you're wrestling with control, uncertainty, or the need to “fix it,” this devotional will help you rest in the most trustworthy truth of all: there is no one you can trust more than the Son of God. Prayer: Lord, I want You to be in control of my life today, leading me through Your Holy Spirit. Help me to submit to You daily. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

The Delay, The Death, and The Resurrection Life - John 11:1-26 In Episode 141 - When Jesus hears that His close friend Lazarus is sick, He doesn't rush to his side—He waits. In this episode, we unpack the tension of John 11:1-26. Why does God sometimes seem slow to answer our pain? We'll look at the heartbreak of Mary and Martha, the raw humanity of Jesus, and the staggering moment He redefines reality by declaring, "I am the resurrection and the life." If you're sitting in a season of waiting or wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is a powerful reminder that His delays are never denials. Where in your life right now does it feel like Jesus is arriving 'too late'—and how does knowing He delayed on purpose with Lazarus change how you view that waiting room? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

My Sheep Know My Voice: The Good Shepherd Continued – John 10:22–42 In Episode 140 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue their journey through John 10 as Jesus boldly reveals His identity during the Feast of Dedication. In John 10:22–42, Jesus declares that His sheep hear His voice, He knows them, and no one can snatch them from His hand. As opposition intensifies, Jesus continues to point people to the evidence of His works and His unity with the Father. This passage is a powerful reminder of the security, assurance, and intimacy believers have in Christ. Together, Jamie and Jane explore what it means to recognize the Shepherd's voice, trust His leadership, and rest in the confidence that we belong to Him. Whether you're struggling with doubt, seeking direction, or longing for deeper intimacy with God, this conversation will encourage you to listen closely to the voice of the One who calls you by name. Am I listening to the voice of the Good Shepherd—or allowing other voices to shape my identity and direction? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

As a little girl, I got so excited when I’d see special signs appear on the side of the road. I thought colorful signs meant my family had arrived at the popular amusement park we were driving to. I’d joyfully start gathering my things, only to be disappointed to see more signs and have to wait even longer before we reached the park. It took me several visits to realize those signs announced that visitors were getting closer but were still miles away. Like a child excited about going to an amusement park and wondering “are we there yet?,” as adults we can also be impatient and anxious to arrive at our next destination. Waiting for God to move in our lives, or to rescue us from our trials, can be challenging. David was facing much adversity, which he mentions throughout Psalm 27, yet he still placed his hope and trust in God and waited for Him to respond. David didn’t know how long it would take for God to act, but he knew God would help him. “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (v. 13). It may take longer than we’d like to experience our breakthrough, but let’s take courage as we read, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (v. 14). When we’re finding it hard to wait on God, we can turn to the Psalms and the rest of Scripture for encouragement. And we can take comfort in knowing God is working even while we wait.
