Expedition Marriage with Chris & Jamie Bailey

Ep 141: Learning to Wait Well. Patience, Faith and God’s Timing in Marriage


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you’re just done waiting for things to get better in your life or marriage? Maybe you’ve been praying —but nothing seems to be changing. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when your patience runs out and how to restore wonder, faith, and trust in God’s timing.

You’ll discover how to wait well, what scripture teaches about patience and frustration, and how to keep your heart soft instead of bitter while you’re in the middle of the “not yet.”

Because God isn’t just working on your spouse—He’s doing something in you, too.

 

💡 In This Episode, We Cover:

  • What losing patience can reveal about our expectations and fears
  • Why wonder matters in marriage (even when things feel stuck)
  • Biblical wisdom for waiting well and walking in faith
  • How to hold on to hope without trying to force change
  • Practical steps for renewing your mindset and heart in the waiting
