When God Makes You Wait: the Painful Blessing of Patience

from The Dwelling Place Lounge

Waiting on God is one of the hardest parts of the Christian life. When you feel called, ready, willing — and the doors still don't open — it's easy to wonder if God forgot you. In today's episode, Vanessa and Phillip dive deep into the story of Abraham and Sarah to show what godly waiting actually looks like... and what happens when we try to take control into our own hands. We talk about impatience, disappointment, calling, ministry burnout, family pressures, and what Romans 8 really means when it talks about creation groaning. This conversation is honest, funny, challenging, and full of real‑life stories — from parenting, to failed plans, to seasons where God seemed completely silent. If you're in a season of waiting, this is for you. If you feel stuck, overlooked, or confused, this is for you. If you're tempted to force God's promises on your timing… this is definitely for you. This episode is all about trust. Present trust. Future trust. Eternal trust.
