    Kelvin Crosby—Learning to Wait

    This is the first episode of the fifth season of the Perseverance Podcast. Listen as Kelvin tells his story of the highs and lows of learning to wait. At the end of 2024, Kelvin had a dream that would define his 2025 year. Hear how he followed Christ’s plan of waiting on Him—at first. But after a few months of restlessness, Kelvin jumped back in to his own plans and timing and soon found himself facing increasing push-back. This tug of war happened for months until God finally got through to Kelvin about the importance of waiting on Him in all areas of his life. After listening to Kelvin’s story about the rewards of waiting on God, I hope you too can feel encouraged to persevere as you go through your own difficult experiences.
