🎙️ Episode 28 — Microwaves and Oak Trees Why does real change take so long? We live in an instant world—instant coffee, overnight shipping, quick fixes for everything. So it’s no surprise we start expecting the same from God: one prayer, one breakthrough, one emotional moment… and we’re finally “better.” But what if the slow pace of growth isn’t failure—what if it’s formation? In this episode, we talk about the myth of the “microwave soul,” why God works more like a gardener than a mechanic, and how mercy meets us in the middle while we’re still unfinished. If you’ve ever wondered, “Shouldn’t I be different by now?”—this one is for you. You’ll hear why small obedience matters, why hidden growth is still real growth, and how God rebuilds hearts brick by brick—slow, steady, and strong. This week’s reflection: Instead of asking, “Why am I not further?” try asking, “Where did God show up today?” If this hits home, share it with someone who’s been too hard on themselves.
