Waiting on God When You Want to Run

In this deeply honest episode, Amy LeSage shares her real-time struggle with waiting on God’s timing when all she craves is forward movement. After taking on a small refinishing touch-up job for a past client—a door she thought God had firmly closed—Amy wrestles with temptation, impatience, and the pull of old passions. Navigating life’s challenges and uncertain seasons, she offers insight on trusting God even when the way forward is unclear.

Using a relatable traffic analogy, Amy explains why quick fixes and shortcuts rarely produce progress and how they can lead us off God’s intended path. She discusses the importance of discerning God’s voice versus the enemy’s, staying patient and obedient during long waiting seasons, and renewing your mind through scripture, especially Romans 12:2.

If you’re feeling frustrated, stuck, or unsure about what to do next in your faith journey, this episode encourages you to hold fast, resist temptation, and trust in God’s perfect timing.
