41. When God Makes You Wait: Becoming Who You’re Called to Be in the In-Between with Pat Domangue

Do you ever feel like God gave you a calling, and then nothing happened?Like you said yes, stepped out in obedience, and somehow ended up in a season that feels slow, hidden, or confusing?In this episode of Not Just Waiting, I’m joined by Pat Domangue, Bible teacher and author, and we’re talking about what it really looks like to become who God has called you to be—especially when it takes longer than you expected.Because the truth is… Waiting doesn’t mean God forgot. It usually means He’s forming something deeper than you can see.Pat shares her story of being called into ministry in 2002—and how what she thought would unfold quickly actually took decades of refining, stretching, and surrender. We talk about confidence, identity in Christ, releasing expectations, and why God often works in cycles, not straight lines.We also unpack a powerful picture: how a potter lets clay sit and harden before it goes into the fire—because if it doesn’t, it will literally fall apart.If you’re in a season where things feel delayed, unclear, or like they’re not moving the way you thought they would…this conversation is for you.In this episode, we talk about:What God is forming in you in unseen seasonsHow to walk confidently in your calling (even when it feels slow)Why waiting seasons are necessary for spiritual growthLetting go of timelines, expectations, and “what you thought it would look like”The truth about ministry, identity, and not fitting into a boxHow God uses repeated seasons to refine your characterWhy you haven’t missed it—and God isn’t lateConnect with Pat:Website: onfire-ministries.orgFacebook: On Fire Ministries with Pat DomangueInstagram:  @patdomangue Get the Comparison Audit here!
