We all want things to happen fast—especially when it comes to our dreams and goals. But the truth is, rushing the process rarely gets us the results we really want. Preparation takes time. And that’s a good thing.
In this episode, we talk about why preparation matters and how trying to skip the process can actually derail your dream. We live in a world of instant results, but God often works slowly—intentionally—because He’s building something deeper in us.
We look at the life of Joseph, who had a huge dream from God, but waited over a decade to see it come to pass. That waiting time wasn’t wasted—it was preparation. His setbacks weren’t detours, they were shaping his character, wisdom, and strength so he could carry the weight of his calling.
You’ll be encouraged to reflect:
-
Are you growing in character, discipline, and skill?
-
If your dream arrived today, could you handle it?
-
How can you stop rushing and start trusting the process?
We also talk about practical examples—like how painting a room takes longer to prep than to paint. It’s the prep that makes the outcome smooth and lasting. In the same way, God is more concerned with what He’s building in you than just what’s around you.
Don't miss the free resource linked in the show notes: “What to Do in the Waiting – How to Prepare” — a simple, practical guide to help you grow while you wait.
God’s delays aren’t denial — they’re development. So trust the process. Don’t rush it. Preparation is always worth it.
