Listen "Advent: Grace in the Waiting"
Episode Synopsis
We live in a culture that hates to wait. Lines, delays, silence, and stillness all feel like problems to solve instead of places to meet God. In this episode, John reflects on how Advent invites us to do the opposite: to slow down, to wait, and to let the Lord work beneath the surface of our busy lives, even in seasons of suffering like his father’s recent cancer diagnosis.
Waiting exposes our fears, idols, and false escapes, and how God uses it to strip away unhealthy self-reliance and grow patience, humility, obedience, and trust. Drawing from Scripture, the lives of Mary and Joseph, he discusses concrete ways to step back from distraction and become more receptive to the grace God wants to give in these final days before Christmas.
