    Everyone Waiting on a Promise From God Needs to Hear This

    Are you believing God for something — a marriage, a business breakthrough, a calling — but can't see how it's going to come to pass? In this episode of Created To Win, host Brian Summers sits down with Tim Romero, Andrew Armstrong, and Gabe Lopez to talk about what happens when faith gets tested in the waiting season. Rooted in Hebrews 6:12, this conversation tackles one of the most dangerous traps believers fall into — forcing their own version of God's promise when patience runs out. In Genesis 16, Abraham and Sarah did it. They called it Ishmael. And it cost them everything.Our guests get vulnerable about their own seasons of waiting on God — what they learned, where they almost gave up, and how staying faithful in the gap changed everything. If you're in the space between God's promise and its fulfillment — this episode is for you.
