I recorded this episode from a place built for waiting, and it cracked something open in me- I’ve come to realize how much of life happens in the in-between- the pauses we rush past or try to numb with distraction. Advent isn’t about doctrine for me; it’s about learning how to wait without giving up hope, how to stay present when nothing is resolved yet. I reflect on how technology has trained us to expect everything instantly, even transformation, and how that impatience can rob us of the quiet formation happening underneath. Through stories, memories, and small moments of kindness, I explore how waiting isn’t wasted time-n it’s often where healing, connection, and becoming actually begin. The story isn’t over. It’s still unfolding. And maybe waiting is part of the magic.

Key Takeaways:

  • Waiting isn’t a failure or delay- it’s often the space where real transformation quietly takes shape.
  • Speed and immediacy don’t create depth; formation happens when we allow ourselves to stay present in the in-between.
  • Kindness, storytelling, and hope keep us connected to ourselves and each other, especially during seasons of grief and change.
