48: Turns Out, God’s Been Playing the Long Game

What if some of the hardest stories in scripture are actually meant to give us hope?In this episode, we talk about a powerful reframe of the Flood story—one that moves it away from fear and punishment and toward mercy, patience, and eternal progression.Instead of seeing the Flood as God giving up on people, we explore the idea that it was God giving them their best chance to keep growing, even if that growth couldn’t happen in this life.In this episode we explore:A mercy-centered view of the FloodEternal progression over perfectionRepentance without fear or heavinessLetting go of pressure and comparison in Church cultureWhy God’s patience gives us real hopeThis episode is a gentle reminder that God is not rushing you—and He’s not disappointed in you either.You’re not failing. You’re still learning. And turns out… God’s been playing the long game all along.Follow Bethany Comerford on IG @bethanythelifecoach or check out her website or podcast!💌 You can email me at [email protected] or come say hi on Instagram @dear.anniejoy
