EP 388: The Power of Staying: What Happens When You Wait With God

from Equip & Empower Podcast with Christine Caine · host Christine Caine

In a world that rewards speed, productivity, and constant activity, what if the very thing your soul needs most is to slow down and linger in the presence of God? Many believers long for God’s guidance, peace, and power in their lives, but rush past the very place where transformation happens. Scripture shows us that God’s greatest work in us often begins when we simply stay in His presence. In this episode, Christine Caine explores Exodus 33 and the powerful moment when Joshua chose to remain in the tent of meeting long after Moses left. Through this story, she reveals how lingering in God’s presence deepens our relationship with Him, sharpens our spiritual sensitivity, and prepares us for the calling He has placed on our lives. If you’ve been feeling spiritually rushed, distracted, or disconnected, this message will invite you back to the place where true transformation begins—God’s presence. ✨ If you’ve ever asked questions like… ● Why does spending time in God’s presence matter so much? ● How can I hear God more clearly in a busy and distracted world? ● How do I create intentional space to meet with God? …then this episode is for you. Discover how to slow down, seek God wholeheartedly, and rediscover the life-changing power of lingering in His presence. 💡What you’ll learn: ● Why lingering in God’s presence transforms our hearts and spiritual lives ● How intentional time with God prepares us for the calling ahead ● Why the presence of God—not talent, success, or influence—is what truly sets believers apart 📘 Want to grow deeper in a flourishing life with God?
