When life feels like a promise on paper and a contradiction in practice, you might be exactly where formation happens. We take a surprising path through gardens, canning jars, and the smell of simmering sauce to explore why faith has a prep time that almost always eclipses the cook time. It’s earthy, practical, and grounded in Scripture, showing how hidden work quietly prepares us for visible moments.

We start with the everyday—hot sauce with four simple ingredients and a batch of pickles that live or die in the rinse and soak.  Then we map the wilderness through stories of David, Moses, John the Baptist, and Elisha, highlighting how God uses ordinary, unglamorous rhythms to build courage, patience, and integrity. Delay isn’t denial; it’s proofing time. And when circumstances look like the exact opposite of the promise, your character gets tested in the place it will matter most later.

Throughout the conversation, we share simple practices that hold up under pressure: keep a Bible within reach, carry a notebook, write down both the promises and the paradox, and let tension reveal where ego or integrity needs work. You’ll walk away with a fresh lens for your current season, language for what you’re feeling, and a steady hope that formation is never wasted. Ready to reframe your delays as design and your deserts as training grounds?
