Waiting seasons often feel like silence, stuckness, or wasted time. But what if waiting isn’t wasted at all? What if it’s preparation?

In this episode of Not Just Waiting, Reanna unpacks why waiting feels so heavy, how God works beneath the surface when we can’t see it, and four practical ways to steward seasons of waiting. From celebrating small wins to creating rhythms, resting in your identity, and leaning into community, this episode is full of encouragement for anyone who feels caught in the “in-between.”

Key themes include:

  • Why waiting requires courage (Psalm 27:14)

  • The root-growth metaphor: what God is doing under the surface

  • Why your job is obedience and God’s job is the outcome

  • Four practices to steward your waiting season well

Friend, waiting is not a pause button. It’s preparation. Take heart—you are not behind, not forgotten, and definitely not just waiting.
