Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWhat if the delay you dread is actually protection you can’t see yet? We open Exodus 23:23–33 and trace God’s promise to guide His people into the land “little by little.” That one phrase reframes the impatience we feel when life moves slower than our plans, revealing a wiser pace that builds capacity, character, and courage for what’s ahead.We walk through the backstory of Israel’s journey and draw a straight line to modern pressures: careers that won’t accelerate on command, health battles that stretch longer than expected, and prayers that seem to linger unanswered. Along the way, we get practical about faith. Hebrews 11 defines it as assurance and conviction, not vague optimism. James 1 teaches joy in trial because steadfastness is formed there. Together, they invite us to thank God for what He has done, notice what He is doing, and trust what He will do—whether or not it looks like our version of the plan.A moving personal story of walking through a parent’s cancer grounds the theme: sometimes the strongest sermon is lived in a hospital room. We talk about inviting God into impatience, recognizing spiritual battles we can’t see, and shifting focus from outcomes to formation. And because the holidays can amplify stress and grief, we share five simple practices to stay anchored: find a support group, keep one life-giving activity, set realistic expectations, use deep breathing to reset, and carve out a few minutes daily for something meaningful.If you’re craving a calmer heart and a clearer path, this conversation offers both theology and tools. Press play to rediscover gratitude for God’s quiet work, learn how to wait without wasting the wait, and find hope that grows “little by little.” If this encouraged you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.Support the showPC Home Health:www.mypchomehealth.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thejourneyoutpod?igsh=djNjbWNrc2F2czQ3&utm_source=qr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568597744080&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=38fbA21LxqTLyg99&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F1EWejFfkog%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr# TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejourneyoutpodcast?_t=ZP-8v0jXdyHnDS&_r=1 The Journey Out Website:https://thejourneyout.buzzsprout.com/
