What if the hard seasons we want to resist are the very things God uses to prepare and equip us for His calling? 

In this episode, Jeff and Iris share how God used uncertainty and surrender to build a resilient faith—one that could say yes when He called them to go to Africa to reach people who had never heard the Gospel and stay faithful in years of fruitlessness. Their story reveals how endurance is formed in hidden places and how obedience is often shaped long before the fruit is seen. This conversation invites us to see our own hard places as preparation, not delay.
