Summary

In this episode, we dig into one of the most overlooked themes of the Christian life: why God makes us wait. Drawing from the story of Barnabas in the book of Acts, Sam explores how delays aren’t punishments—they’re God’s training ground.

You’ll discover:

What God develops in you during seasons of waiting
How Barnabas went from quiet encourager to history-shaping leader
Why delays protect you, prepare you, and multiply your impact
How curiosity turns frustration into spiritual growth
And what God may be building in you right now that you can’t see yet

If you’re in a waiting season—career, health, relationships, purpose—this episode will help you see your delay through a completely different lens.

Listen now and learn why your breakthrough may be closer than you think.
