What Christian hasn’t asked the question, “did I not pray hard enough?” One of my first questions for God, when I get to heaven, will be, “what took you so long!?” God’s timing and our timing don’t often align in the exact way we would wish. Given the expectation we have in our culture of faster is better, waiting on the Lord to answer while enduring any sort of pain or discomfort is not something that we usually handle well.
Justin Warren, a recording artist and worship leader, talks us through a journey he went on that made him doubt his calling. He was challenged by God to press in and wait on the Lord for an answer. Through that process, a beautiful new song was written and spiritual growth happened and he’ll share his story with us on today’s episode.
