Waiting. Something all of us experience regularly and likely one of the most frustrating parts of life. And yet, in the Bible, waiting is often marked by silence, a deliberate pause where we stop striving and allow God’s plan to unfold. This kind of waiting isn’t about inactivity but about cultivating a heart of trust and patience. It’s in the silence of waiting that we let go of control, setting aside our own efforts to make room for God’s perfect timing. In this Broken & Beautiful Podcast livestream, we’ll explore how Scripture teaches us to wait quietly, embracing stillness as a way to deepen our faith. From quieting our hearts to silencing our need for immediate answers, Shannon Carroll and Stephanie Feger of Broken & Beautiful Retreats, LLC will guide you through this journey of waiting with expectant trust in God’s divine plan.
