Are You Waiting on God or Just Afraid to Act? | The Pursuit with James Griffin

from The Pursuit with James Griffin

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.
