Conversations with Carrie Lea

Your waiting season is exposing something deeper than the delay itself: your attitude. If you're trying to trust God while wrestling with frustration, disappointment, or quiet complaining, this episode will help you shift from grumbling to gratitude and learn how to wait well with a praise in your mouth.

Carrie Lea gets real about living out her own teaching in real time and shows why “I will bless the Lord at all times,” is more than a familiar church verse. Episode 29 unpacks what it means to stay content when life is not matching the promise.

If you need a reset from complaining or a timely reminder that God is still good in the in-between, this episode is for you.

What if the promise is real, but the path looks nothing like you imagined? In this episode of Conversations with Carrie Lea, she unpacks why “better than you thought” can feel like heartbreak before it feels like blessing, and how learning to release your expectations might be the very thing that unlocks God’s best for you.

Using the story of Apostle Paul in Acts 23 and Philippians, Carrie shows how a word from God can still lead to prison, pressure, and unexpected detours—and yet produce impact far bigger than the original dream.

If you’re in a waiting season, grieving a loss, praying for a breakthrough, or wondering whether God has forgotten the plan, this conversation is for you.
