Summary:


In this episode of Starting Over: Life 2.0 with God, we take an honest look at what it means to practice patience in seasons of transition. Whether you're stepping out of a major life crisis, navigating uncertainty, or waiting for God to open the next door, the in-between can feel confusing and discouraging.


Joined by my friend Paul Berard, we talk about the emotional and spiritual toll that waiting can take, why delays aren't denials, and how God often does His most refining work in these quiet, unseen moments. This episode is about shifting your mindset from frustration to faith and finding strength in the slow.


What You’ll Learn:


  • How to recognize that waiting on God is not the same as doing nothing


  • Why God’s timing often doesn’t match our sense of urgency


  • The connection between emotional frustration and spiritual immaturity


  • How past seasons of waiting can prepare you for present growth


  • Biblical insights and stories that show how patience leads to purpose


Why You Should Listen:


If you’re in a season where nothing seems to be happening fast enough—or at all—this episode will bring clarity and peace. Paul and I share personal stories and scripture-based insights that will help you see that your waiting has meaning. Whether you're waiting for healing, a breakthrough, or direction, this conversation will encourage you to keep trusting and keep moving forward.


Why This Episode Matters:

Patience is one of the most overlooked and undervalued acts of faith. Yet, it is often in our slowest, most uncertain seasons that God does His deepest work in us. When we learn to surrender our timelines and trust His, we begin to see the true beauty in the process.


This episode reminds listeners that the wait is not a waste—and that God is always preparing something greater, even when we can't see it yet.
