Episode Synopsis
In the Waiting
Have you ever found yourself in a waiting room—physically or spiritually? At first, you lean in with hope. Then comes frustration, comparison, and passivity. The prophet Habakkuk knew that tension. His raw cry—“How long, Lord, must I call for help?”—echoes in every season of delay. In this message, we unpack how God doesn’t silence our questions—He meets us in them. Habakkuk reminds us: real transformation starts when we stop performing and start trusting.
Whether you’re leaning forward or slumped in silence, this message calls you to wait well—with faith, conviction, and hope.

Discussion topics
Icebreaker - Have you ever experienced a "spiritual waiting room"? What did it feel like—anticipation, frustration, doubt, resignation? In what ways do you relate to the imagery of leaning forward, sitting back, looking around, or slipping into a passive posture?
Read Habakkuk 1:2-4 - What stood out to you about Habakkuk’s honesty in his prayer to God? How do you typically respond when it seems like God is silent in the face of injustice or suffering?
Living in a Christian Nation - With such a high percentage of elected officials identifying as Christian, why do you think society still reflects so many of the problems Habakkuk described in his time? What does it mean for us personally to “not ignore the Torah”—or to return to God’s truth in our cultural moment? NOTE- This is not a time to debate politics or get off on personal political agendas.
Read Habakkuk 2:4 & 3:17-18 - What does it look like to live by faith when your circumstances haven’t changed? What would it mean for you to “rejoice in the Lord” this week, even when the “fig tree does not bud”?
Personal Reflection & Action: Which posture do you find yourself in today—leaning forward, sitting back, looking around, or giving up? What’s one small, faithful action you can take this week to choose trust over passivity?
