In this episode of Second Wind, Steve Patta speaks to the seasons that feel silent—when nothing seems to move, grow, or change.

Drawing from Luke 2:52, Steve reminds us that even Jesus spent thirty years in obscurity for three years of public ministry. The majority of His life was quiet, unseen, and uncelebrated—but not wasted. God trusted Him with the silence before He trusted Him with the stage.

Steve shares how quiet seasons are not punishments, but preparation. They’re where God builds character, maturity, and depth—the kind of strength that can sustain what’s next.

If you’ve been feeling hidden, overlooked, or unsure if anything’s happening, this episode will remind you that being hidden isn’t the same as being forgotten. God does His best work in the quiet.
