Is Waiting God’s Therapy for Small-Mindedness? His Loving Delay |Ep 32

Waiting can feel awkward, uncomfortable, and confusing — especially when we’re longing for clarity, answers, or change. In this episode, we gently reframe waiting, not as punishment or absence, but as a loving expression of a loving Father. Using the story of Mary and Martha and Lazarus, we explore how God’s delays are often intentional — designed to expand our vision, deepen our faith, and form who we are becoming.

This episode is an invitation to see waiting differently — not as wasted time, but as sacred space.
