Sometimes the hardest part of spiritual growth isn’t the planting… it’s the pruning.

This message is for the one who:

• Feels guilty for saying “no”
• Has outgrown old patterns, places, or people
• Is learning to set holy bounda...

Let’s be honest… forgiveness is hard.
 Not just the “I forgive you” kind that we say with a half-smile and a clenched jaw, but the deep, soul-level kind. The kind that means letting go of the right to be angry. The kind that asks you to release the past — even when you never got an apology.

Ever felt like God is holding out on you? Like you’re stuck in the world’s longest waiting room while everyone else is out there living their best life?

Ever felt like you're doing everything right—praying, planting, showing up in faith—and yet… nothing’s happening?

Welcome to The Waiting Room—that sacred, stretching place where God pauses the plan but doesn’t cancel the promise. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the wrestle, the refining, and the reminders that He’s still working even when it looks like He’s not.
