    Waiting on God? Here's What He's Doing | Taylor Mitchell

    What if waiting isn’t wasted time—but the very place God is shaping you most? In this episode of Coffee and Bible Time, we talk about what it looks like to stay faithful while trusting in God’s timing, especially when life feels unclear or delayed. Waiting is often misunderstood as inactivity, but Scripture shows us it is a season of active faith, emotional honesty, and daily obedience. We discuss how to walk through waiting with wisdom, peace, and perspective. In this episode, we cover:  Why biblical waiting is active, not passive  How to process emotions during uncertain seasons  Taking the “next God-honoring step”  The role of wise counsel and community  Surrendering outcomes to God  Finding peace in trusting in God’s timing Scripture referenced: Psalm 27:14 | Psalm 130:5 | Isaiah 40:31 | Psalm 119:105 | He is the potter, we are the clay | Philippians 4:6 | James 1:5 | Proverbs 15:22 | Colossians 1:16 | Romans 8:28 Reflection questions: 1. Am I actively trusting God or am I merely enduring the waiting?  2. What is the next obvious God honoring step that I can take today? 3. Am I seeking God through prayer? Am I seeking God through scripture? 4. Have I sought wise counsel from mature believers? 5. Am I trusting and surrendering the outcome to the Lord? Got a thought? Got a question?
