Rebecca George: Trusting God’s Timing


Listen Later

Have you ever been in a season of waiting that feels as though it will never end? Whether you want to begin a family, meet a life partner, find your perfect career, or anything else, waiting can be excruciating—or fertile ground for personal and spiritual growth. In this episode of the Christian Habits Podcast, author and podcaster Rebecca George shares insights from her new book, You’re Not Too Late: Trusting God’s Timing in a Hurry-Up World. Learn to reframe the struggles of waiting and how to find true happiness and joy in a relationship with Christ.

What We Discussed on the Podcast:
  • The importance of recognizing common challenges during waiting seasons and how they can hinder our faith.
  • How to shift our perspective on waiting by embracing a biblical narrative that fosters hope rather than despair.
  • The notion of “chill hours” learned from Rebecca’s husband’s experience with olive trees, symbolizing how difficult periods can shape us for future growth and fruitfulness.
  • Strategies for surrendering our desires to God, navigating feelings of idolatry, and cultivating a lasting joy that transcends earthly circumstances.
  • The profound impact of bitterness and resentment during waiting times, and how addressing these feelings can lead to healing and joy.
  • Encouragement and practical advice for attending significant life events (like a friend’s baby shower) when your own hopes seem unfulfilled.
  • Resources We Mentioned on the Podcast
