Podcasts about waiting on god

In today's episode of We're Talkin' About with Kaley Gray, we're diving into something we all experience but rarely embrace: waiting seasons and the time in between. In a fast-paced, instant-gratification culture, it's easy to feel discouraged when life doesn't move as quickly as we hoped. We scroll through social media and see “overnight success,” highlight reels, engagements, promotions, and breakthroughs, but we don't always see the years of preparation behind them. So what does it look like to trust God in the waiting? From biblical examples like Hannah, Moses, and Mary to personal reflections on starting YouTube with just an iPhone, this episode reminds you that nothing is wasted. The underground seasons where roots grow deep are often where the most important transformation happens. If you're in a season of singleness, career uncertainty, spiritual growth, heartbreak, or simply feeling “in between,” this episode will encourage you to trust the Author of your story.Your waiting season is not wasted. God's delays are not denials. And the best chapters are still ahead.Connect Here:⁠https://www.instagram.com/kaleyagray/⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MissKaleyGray/ ⁠Subscribe on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHkLMwvU32yvNbXhRCjgmQ⁠*I do not own rights to this music. #waitingonGod #Godstiming #christianencouragement

Waiting on GodBible Reference: Matthew 4: 1 - 11

We explore why biblical hope is more than crossed fingers and how to wait without quitting by anchoring to God's character, promises, and community. We share tools to keep hope alive, from remembering past faithfulness to scheduling worry time and speaking truth.• defining hope as confident trust in God's character• the weight of small burdens and why it feels heavy• Romans 8:25 and patience for what we do not see• Psalm 34 and Lamentations 3 reframing deliverance• delay versus denial with Sarah and Job• remembering past faithfulness to fuel today's hope• community over isolation using the fire log picture• practical tool: scheduled worry time to limit anxiety• speaking truth: God is still working“Have a worry time, set it aside, write those down, and have a time that you can worry all you want and have a grand old time in your worriness. And then when you get done with that time, leave it.”https://aarondegler.com/

How do we live, move, and set goals while we're still waiting on Him to work?We explore the difference between vision and goals, why waiting is an active part of faith, and how setting one intentional goal for each area of your life wheel can help you steward your season without striving. This episode is an invitation to execute faithfully, wait patiently, and trust God with the outcome—learning how to walk in obedience while the vision unfolds in His timing.If you're in a season of waiting, this conversation will remind you that you're not behind—you're becoming.Welcome to the WEBSITE see what we have in Quarter onehttps://www.heatherbaxter.com/after-eden-bible-studyPurchase a 2026 Warbinder Here:https://www.heatherbaxter.com/Join the HB MENTORSHIP SCHOOL HERE:https://www.heatherbaxter.com/event-details/crown-on-wings-out-heart-steady-quarter-one-2026HB MINISTRIES FACEBOOK COMMUNITY GROUP:https://www.facebook.com/groups/359253591516040

(Editor's note: This sermon was re-recorded due to technical difficulties) Today we look at everyone's favorite topic: patience. One of the hardest, yet most needed disciplines in our lives comes as we learn to wait on God and rest in Him.

Have you been serving God faithfully but still feel like your prayers are hitting a ceiling? In this powerful message, Elliott Warren dives into the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth to reveal what God is actually doing in your season of waiting. It is easy to trust God when the blessings are flowing, but what happens when you do everything "right"—living blamelessly and praying consistently—and yet your deepest desire remains unfulfilled? Many of us, like Zechariah, interpret God's silence as a denial. But silence does not mean absence. In this sermon, Pastor Elliott explores the "Altar of Incense" and the moment God broke 400 years of silence to answer a prayer Zechariah had likely stopped praying. You will learn how to handle seasons of disappointment, why your private faithfulness matters more than your public success, and how to prepare your spirit for a "sudden" encounter with God's favor. If you are ready to move from sorrow to hope, this message is for you.

Pastors Caleb and Chrissy Cole share the Word for the Year for Project Church: Fresh Wind. From Acts 2 and the story of Pentecost, they call the church back to prayer, presence, and waiting on the Holy Spirit. This message teaches that before God moves us, He must first fill us, and that Fresh Wind softens hearts, renews passion, and aligns believers with God's mission. A call to enjoy God's presence, not just perform religion, and to make prayer the primary vision.

In a previous episode we carefully studied Psalm 62:1 in its context. In this episode, we go back and review the short sermon that originally sparked that study and ask a simple question: does this message actually explain the text, or does it turn the text into something else?

Psalm 62:1 is often used as a generic call to patience and trust—but is that what the verse is actually saying? In this episode, we slow down and read Psalm 62:1 in its literary, historical, and covenant context and discover that this is not about waiting for God to fix our personal circumstances, but about David and Israel waiting on God to fulfill His promises.

Are you truly waiting on God—or just afraid to take the next step?In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody wrestle with one of the most misunderstood ideas in the Christian life: waiting on God. In a culture shaped by instant gratification and constant distraction, many believers confuse waiting with passivity, prayer with avoidance, and fear with faith.Through the lens of Acts 1, the conversation exposes how often Christians delay obedience while claiming they're “still praying about it.” The team unpacks why God often uses waiting seasons to prepare us, how obedience doesn't require full clarity, and why prayer is meant to empower action—not replace it.You'll hear honest discussion about fear, insecurity, delayed obedience, and what it looks like to put your “yes” on the table before God ever gives you the details. If you feel stuck, uncertain, or hesitant to move forward in your faith, this episode will challenge you to stop stalling and start trusting.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.SHOW NOTESThese notes are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus – https://mycpcc.com/notes164To submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.

Why God Uses Faithful People Who Refuse to Move Sometimes obedience doesn’t look like progress. Sometimes faith doesn’t feel victorious. And sometimes standing still feels like failure. In UNC020, Jon Ellis speaks directly to believers who didn’t quit, didn’t compromise, and didn’t walk away, but still feel stuck because nothing has changed. Using Exodus 14 and the moment Israel stood trapped at the Red Sea, this episode reframes waiting as positioning, not punishment. You’ll learn why standing can be the most obedient move you make, why silence doesn’t mean God is absent, and how God often moves only after obedience removes every other option. If you’re faithful but frustrated… If you’re obeying but exhausted… If you’re standing and wondering if it even matters… This episode will help you understand what God is doing while you wait—and why positioned people always see God move. Standing still can feel like failure, but in the Kingdom, it’s often positioning. In UNC020, Jon Ellis explains why obedience doesn’t always produce immediate results, how waiting can actually be alignment, and why God moves on behalf of those who refuse to panic their way out of position. If you’re still faithful but questioning everything, this episode is for you.

Send Shirah Chante a TextIn the final installment of the Israel Became a State song series, host Shirah Chante explores Verse Six, focusing on the biblical sibling rivalry between Rachel and Leah and how God used a complicated family situation to fulfill His greater plan.This episode reflects on:Jacob's 14-year wait for the woman he lovedThe emotional cost of favoritism in relationshipsGod's compassion for the unloved and overlookedHow rivalry, barrenness, and disappointment can still lead to purposeRooted in Scripture and inspired by song lyrics, this conversation reminds us that relationships thrive when they're built God's way. Even in rivalry and pain, God brings redemption, peace, and promise.A heartfelt prayer concludes the episode, covering those facing family rivalry, infertility, and relational struggles.

What you choose to believe and cherish, practice and submit to, work at and believe, happens when no one else is looking. These are the glorious days your children will remember—the joy of the meantime, the moments cherished, the memories of this Christmas, feasting together, choosing joy. Life teaches us to cherish every day.

Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, and using the Douay-Rheims psalter for his reflections, Father Matlak guides you in prayer and shares a brief reflection and a thorough examination of conscience providing you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. ________________

From Restless to Rooted: Joshua Williams on Calling, Repentance, and a Faith That Endures.What happens when the map you drew for your life no longer fits the road God is actually giving you? In this continuation of our conversation with Joshua Williams, we trace a candid journey through disappointment, redirection, and the quiet practices that turn belief into a way of life. This isn't highlight-reel faith; it's the daily, hidden work of following Jesus when the feelings fade and the next step isn't obvious.In this episode you'll hear about:Calling vs. career: how God reshapes ambition into service and steadies the heart when doors close.Repentance as renewal: not shame, but the rhythm that keeps love honest and hope alive.Prayer that holds in storms: learning to pray Scripture when words run out.Community and accountability: why “just me and Jesus” isn't enough when you're tired, tempted, or unsure.Sacrament and Scripture together: how worship and the Word form a faith that lasts beyond trends.Suffering without cynicism: carrying grief to Christ and finding courage to begin again.Why listen: If you're in a season of waiting, change, or quiet rebuilding, Joshua's story offers both clarity and comfort—practical ways to keep moving with Jesus when you're short on answers but rich in questions.If this conversation encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs steadying grace, and leave a quick review with the one practice—prayer, repentance, or community—you're committing to this week.**********What if the road to Jesus runs through a guru? We sit down with Joshua to trace his unlikely path from a Romanian “enlightenment” school to Orthodox Christianity, and we ask the questions seekers rarely say aloud: Do mystical experiences prove truth, or do they force us to ask which spirit we're listening to?Joshua describes leaving the U.S. to “throw himself into the arms of the universe,” clinging to ideas like reincarnation and religious unity while resisting the moral claims of Christ. Inside a syncretic school that blended Hindu and Buddhist concepts, he encountered a compelling teacher, apparent clairvoyance, and a vision of reality where Brahman reigns as impersonal essence. That promise of unity felt expansive—until it demanded he treat personhood, love, and moral responsibility as illusions. We contrast that with the Orthodox claim that God is personal and tri-personal: the Trinity as eternal communion, love that exists before creation, and a God who is everywhere present yet distinct from creation. Rather than absorbing us into a faceless One, God calls us by name and invites real relationship.Across the conversation, we map the turning points: irritation at the name of Jesus giving way to self-awareness, recognition of authentic Christian witness, and a rethinking of “science versus faith” that leaves shallow slogans behind. We explore discernment of spirits, why power isn't proof, and how an impersonal metaphysics drifts toward quiet nihilism. Then we look at the Orthodox vision of personhood that grounds meaning: if we're made in God's image, our capacity for love is not a cosmic trick—it's the point.If you've chased enlightenment and still long for a face behind the light, this story will meet you where you are.

Joshua 12-14 - The Picture of Faith - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1434.pdf

Pastor Jim teaches from Luke 1 and reflects on Mary's song, the Magnificat, as a model for anchoring ourselves in God's faithfulness during seasons of waiting. Mary, a young and lowly servant with no status or power, responds to a life-altering calling not with fear but with praise. Jim explains that her rejoicing comes from a clear understanding of who she is and who God has always been, the Mighty One who lifts up the humble, fills the hungry, and keeps His promises. Through this passage, Jim challenges us to recognize our own lowliness, resist the urge to grasp for control, and magnify the Lord by grounding our lives in the gospel. In a world that encourages power and self-sufficiency, Mary's song invites us to rejoice, trusting that God is still at work in our waiting.

Advent E1 — Over the next four weeks, we'll be exploring the four key words associated with the Advent season: hope, peace, joy, and love, starting with hope. The Hebrew words often translated as “hope,” yakhal and qavah, are rooted in images of waiting and being stretched, like a cord pulled tight. From Noah waiting for the flood waters to recede, to Israel longing for God's loyal love, to Jesus followers ultimate hope in the new creation, the Bible presents hope as an active trust in God's character. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore how the biblical story reframes hope as active waiting, a practice that keeps us moving toward God's promises.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter notes including summaries, referenced Scriptures, biblical words, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSYakhal, a Waiting Hope (0:00–11:26)Qavah, a Stretching Hope (11:26–24:10)Biblical Hope vs. Optimism (24:10–27:47)Reflections on Hope With Dylan (27:47-32:50)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament by Ludwig Koehler and Walter BaumgartnerThe Life of Moses and Homilies on the Song of Songs by Gregory of NyssaThe Last Battle by C.S.

#advent #catholic #sspxAdvent is a holy season of waiting. We learn how to wait for God.Waiting well is an important spiritual skill, because God often moves slowly. When we look at the history of the world and of the human race, we see that God is never in a hurry.God is outside of time. All of time is like a single moment for Him. He sees all of human history from the highest perspective.When we interact with God, we have to be willing for Him to act slowly. We have to be willing to wait. “Show, O Lord, thy ways to me. Teach me thy paths”, we say in today's Introit. His ways are slow.Abraham: God first appears to him when he is 75 years old, and promises that he will make a great nation of him. But his wife is not able to have any children. After 25 years, God appears to Abraham, when he is 100 years old, and promises that he will have a child by Sara, who is 90 years old. She has Isaac and the whole race of the Chosen People comes from him.Moses: the Israelites are being oppressed by the Pharaoh. He is telling the midwives to put their male children to death. Moses is saved from the water and raised by Pharaoh's daughter in the Egyptian court. When he is 40 years old, he flees to the desert. Only after 40 years more does God appear to Moses and ask him to go back to Egypt to deliver the Israelite people. They had been in slavery for 80 years at that point.Coming of Our Lord: God waits a number of centuries after Adam. When Our Lord comes onto this earth, He is not rushed. Rather, He spends 30 years living a hidden and unknown life. Only then does He come out into the public.Bottom line: God often waits a long time before acting. (same will be true of end of world!)We find this characteristic of our God difficult because we are naturally impatient as human beings. We are willful and we want control. We want things to happen when we want them to happen. We find it humbling to be forced to wait.

Have you ever been scared while waiting for answers — and your mind went straight to the worst? Stop scrolling — if you're scared while waiting for answers, you are NOT alone. When you're stuck in the uncertain times — between what you feel and what you hope — the waiting becomes the hardest part. If that's you, don't click away — stay with us for the first 60 seconds. This episode is part of a globally streamed, 5-star Christian show with listeners in 16+ countries, recognized as one of the top Christian women's podcasts for real faith and real-life conversation. In this raw mother-daughter conversation, Chosen By Jesus hosts Kelley and Taylor Tyan talk openly about the emotional and spiritual battle that happens in the waiting — especially when fear, symptoms, tests, or unanswered questions leave you imagining the worst instead of expecting God's best. If your family has faced difficult medical seasons, the waiting hits different. Even when it could be anything, your mind goes back to what you've survived before. Experience shapes fear — even when faith is present. But waiting does not mean God is silent — or absent. Waiting is the place where trust becomes oxygen. ______ Inside This Episode • How to stay grounded when your mind won't stop racing • Why waiting hurts emotionally + spiritually • What to do when fear feels louder than Scripture • Why God develops faith before delivering answers • How to shift from panic → holy expectation ______ Scriptures Referenced Psalm 37:7 • Isaiah 60:22 • Habakkuk 2:3 • Psalm 27:14 • Galatians 6:9 • Romans 8:28 ______ Prayer God, we give You every unknown, every fear, every result, and every outcome.

In a brand new episode of The Grove Podcast, Shelley Giglio is joined by the brilliant and bold Jackie Hill Perry for a conversation about faith, formation, and the unexpected places God does His deepest work.Together, Shelley and Jackie unpack the wrestle with ambition, the gift of hidden seasons, and how God often meets us in our lack to show us that He alone is enough.They explore the importance of spiritual disciplines — not as rigid rules but as pathways to freedom, relationship, and fruitfulness. And they encourage us to believe that God really does use every part of our story to make us more like Jesus.Wherever you are — leading, waiting, hoping, or trying your best to believe — it's our prayer that this conversation will lift your eyes to His presence and His power at work in your life.The Grove is an extension of all God is doing at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
