42. God Still Uses the Waiting with Nancy Jasin Ensley

This week on the Not Just Waiting Podcast, I sat down with author, former nurse, counselor, and storyteller Nancy L. Jasin Ensley for one of the most honest and unexpectedly funny conversations we’ve had this season.Nancy shares what God has been teaching her in the “winter season” of life — from slowing down and learning patience to forgiving the people who hurt her and discovering that God still had purpose for her long after retirement.We talked about:why waiting is still activehow journaling can help you process what God is doingthe connection between fear, control, and worthinessthe surprising ways God shapes our characterwhy patience, forgiveness, and humility matter so muchhow God often uses the things we didn’t plan forwhat it means to truly listen instead of just hearNancy’s stories about nursing, counseling women from her home, ghostwriting memoirs, and navigating disappointment reminded me that becoming rarely happens in big, glamorous moments. Most of the time, it happens slowly. Quietly. In ordinary faithfulness.If you’re in a season where life feels slower than you expected, or different than what you planned, I think this conversation will encourage you deeply.You can connect with Nancy and explore her books here: www.nancyjasinensley.com
