027 Transformation Through the Seasons of Waiting feat. Barb Hill

In this episode, Barb Hill, a Nashville based therapist and author, delves into the concept of the 'seasons of waiting'. Drawing upon personal experiences, she describes the different seasons of waiting and how they align with characteristics in Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Barb highlights the transformational potential that can be embraced when we allow ourselves to lean into discomfort instead of evading it. She discusses how her transactional view of God led to disappointment, and how liberation came from releasing control and misconceptions about God's plans. Here are some thoughts we talk about:

  • Navigating through the seasons of waiting can be challenging, but therapy, mentorship, community support, and physical movement can aid in moving forward.
    • The waiting process is an opportunity for transformation, with discomfort acting as a catalyst for growth, character development, and humility.
    • God cares deeply about our experiences, decisions, and narratives, a point underlined by the story of Jesus' interaction with the woman at the well.
