There are seasons when life feels backwards, confusing and stuck. In this conversation, Jess talks with her friend Shameka about what it looks like to find real hope while you wait, trust God when nothing makes sense and discover that He has been writing a better story all along.


Discover:

  • How God led Shameka through a season of confusion, transition and financial struggle
  • What it looked like to move in obedience even when it felt embarrassing and illogical
  • A simple, practical way to worship that invites God’s presence into your waiting
  • Why trust is learned over time and how God patiently teaches us to rely on Him
  • How God opened a door to Oregon and to Westside in a way she did not see coming
  • Encouragement for anyone who feels hopeless or is even wondering if life is worth it

In the middle of the unknown, God is not absent. He is teaching, guiding and preparing you. This episode will remind you that your waiting is not wasted and that God is already working details together that you cannot see yet.


Key Takeaways:

  • God often connects the “random” pieces of our story in ways we only understand later
  • Trust usually grows when we release control, not when we get more answers
  • Worship is not just music, it is intentionally turning our attention and affection to God
  • A few intentional minutes alone with God can shift an entire season of anxiety
  • Your situation may not change right away, but God will change you in the middle of it


Question for you to think about:

Where in your life are you feeling stuck or unsure right now, and what is one small way you can invite God into that waiting this week?
