Episode Title:

Why Isn’t Jesus Showing Up In My Situation Like I Thought He Would?

Episode Description:

You’ve been praying. You’ve been fasting. You’ve been faithful. And yet… nothing’s changing. If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Where is Jesus when I need Him most?”, then Sis, this episode is for you!

We’re diving deep into John 11 and the story of Lazarus to uncover what it really means when God delays. Why does Jesus hold back when He could’ve fixed it already? Why does it feel like He’s distant in your most desperate hour? We’re breaking down the frustration of the wait, the purpose in the silence, and how faith—even now—is the key that unlocks freedom.

We’re talking Real life, Real pain, and the Real power of Resurrection Faith. Jesus may not come when you want Him to, but He’s always right on time for His glory.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
  • Why Jesus sometimes delays His response—and what that means for your situation

  • How Martha’s bold request in John 11 teaches us about favor and faith

  • The power of sitting in the silence of “Saturday seasons”

  • What the Lazarus story reveals about God’s glory in our dead places

  • A relatable story about butterflies and breakthroughs 🦋

  • Why “Even now” faith can change everything
