In this week’s episode of To Help You Heal, I’m stepping into a space we don’t talk about nearly enough — the middle.

You know… that quiet, stretching, uncomfortable space between the moment you say yes to something God is stirring in you and the moment you finally see the outcome unfold.

We love the beginning — the excitement, the vision, the clarity.

We love the end — the celebration, the testimony, the “look what God has done.”

But the middle?

Whew. That’s where the questions show up. The doubt. The silence.

The wondering if you missed something or if you’re even on the right path at all.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing:

✨ Why the middle feels so hard

✨ How obedience often leads us into seasons of waiting

✨ What God may be forming in us before the breakthrough

✨ Why waiting is not punishment — but preparation

✨ How to stay faithful (even when you feel unsure)

✨ The small signs worth celebrating along the way

✨ How to stay connected to your original “yes” when motivation fades

I also talk about the chapter in To Help You Heal that I wrote on “The Middle” — literally while I was living through my own. (If you’ve ever cleaned out a closet and hit that moment mid-project where you want to cry and walk away… yep, it’s exactly like that.)

Toward the end, I share a few journaling prompts to help you reflect on your own in-between space:

Where in your life are you walking between obedience and outcome?

What might God be shaping, healing, or revealing in this season?

How can you keep showing up — with trust — right where you are?

And next week?

We’re talking about how to rest when you’re not seeing results yet. 

If you want to go deeper into this topic, you can grab my book To Help You Heal on my website. I personally sign every copy before I send it out. You’ll also find my couples journal, Rooted, in the store as well.

Your obedience isn’t wasted.

Your yes is creating ripples you can’t see yet.

And God is still writing the part of the story you haven’t read.

I hope this episode encourages you right in your middle.
