Waiting is easy until pressure shows up. In this episode, we look at Saul’s impatience and what pressure reveals about what we really trust. When obedience feels delayed and fear rises, what does faith actually require?

Why would Jesus wait… when He knew the outcome?

In John 11, Jesus delays going to Lazarus. And in that delay, there is grief, confusion, and sorrow. Yet in that same chapter, we see purpose unfolding.

In this episode of Faithful Fridays, we talk about holy delay — the kind of waiting that hurts but serves a greater purpose. We explore grief, tears, and the truth that even when Jesus waits, He is not absent.

Waiting does not mean God is indifferent. Sometimes it means He is preparing something greater than we can see.

Scriptures: John 11:1–44

What do you do when God anwers you… but it’s not the answer you wanted?

The prophet Habakkuk asked hard questions. He cried out over injustice. And when God responded, the answer didn’t make sense.

In this episode, we learn that waiting isn’t just about time passing — it’s about trust growing. Habakkuk teaches us to stand watch, to write the vision, and to live by faith even when the situation doesn’t change immediately.

Waiting while learning to trust means choosing faith over feelings.

Scriptures: Habakkuk 1–2; Habakkuk 3:17–19

What does it look like to wait… and not grow bitter?

In Luke 2, we meet Simeon — an older man who had been promised he would see the Messiah before he died. He waited. Not in frustration. Not in fear. But in hope.

In this episode of Faithful Fridays, we explore what it means to wait with expectation instead of anxiety. Simeon reminds us that when God makes a promise, He keeps it — even if the fulfillment takes years.

Waiting in hope means believing that God’s timing is not late. It is perfect.

Scriptures: Luke 2:25–35

What do you do when you’ve prayed… and nothing changes?

In this episode of Faithful Fridays, we walk through 1 Samuel 1 and sit with Hannah in her anguish. Mocked. Misunderstood. Empty-armed. And still faithful.

Hannah teaches us that waiting isn’t passive — it is prayerful. It is surrender. It is trusting God when your heart feels heavy and your answer feels delayed.

If you are waiting in pain, this episode will remind you:

God sees.

God hears.

And faithful waiting is never wasted.

Scriptures: 1 Samuel 1:1–20
