Have you ever felt like you’ve been in a season of waiting for a long time—praying, preparing, learning, and wondering when God will finally move?

In this powerful opening episode of Season 5 of the Nurse As Midwife Podcast, Shena Martin introduces the theme “Birthing Purpose and Spreading Wings.” This episode sets the prophetic tone for the entire season and speaks directly to those who sense that their waiting season is coming to an end.

Waiting seasons are often where God prepares us, strengthens our faith, and shapes our character. But every waiting season has a divine expiration date. When the time for release arrives, God begins to stir something within us that signals it is time to step forward in obedience.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What happens when a season of waiting expires

• How to recognize the signs of divine timing

• Why obedience is often the doorway to purpose

• How to release fear, hesitation, and old identities that no longer align with your calling

Shena also leads listeners through a powerful activation moment to declare what they are no longer carrying into this new season, followed by a heartfelt prayer for courage to transition.

If you have been sensing that God is calling you to move forward but you are unsure of the next step, this episode will encourage you to trust His timing and walk boldly into the purpose He has placed within you.

This season is not just about preparation.

It’s about release.
