About this listen

 This week, we’re diving deep into what it means to stay faithful when life feels like it’s on pause. In Acts 23–28, we follow Paul’s journey through imprisonment, shipwreck, and delay—only to see God move in unexpected and powerful ways. If you’re in a season where you feel stuck, forgotten, or like nothing is happening, this one is for you. We’re talking about what it looks like to trust God’s timing, keep showing up in the waiting, and believe that even the hidden seasons are holy. Plus, you’ll hear about epidurals, hospital delays, and what the Bible has to do with reality TV. (Yes, really.)Let’s lean in and remember that God is just as present in our waiting as He is in our breakthrough.
