About this listen

 We’re kicking off a brand new 7-week series in the Book of Acts, inspired by our Bible study The Wild Invitation! In this episode, we reflect on how waiting doesn’t have to be passive or frustrating—it can be a beautiful season of prayer, unity, and expectation when we’re led by the Spirit. Together, we share honest stories, biblical truths, and encouragement for anyone who finds themselves in a holding pattern. We’re learning, growing, and studying right alongside you.
