What if the waiting seasons of your life weren’t detours—but the very place where the deepest growth happens? In this beautiful, vulnerable, and soul-stirring conversation, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins Ginny Yurich to talk about her book Slow Burn and the hidden work God does in our hearts while we wait.

With raw honesty, DawnCheré explores the power of music, the significance of celebration, and the miracle of showing up even when our hearts feel weary.
