Summary

If you’re following what’s happening at Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, you probably know that last week was a significant week for us. Last Monday, the trial was set to begin for the man accused of murdering Amanda Blackburn, Davey’s late wife. More than six years later, this chapter of the story was finally ready to come to an end. However, mere minutes before the trial was set to start, a careless mistake caused it to be declared a mistrial. Now facing several more months of waiting, it seems like this season will never end, and we’re left asking “Where is God in this?” On this special episode of the Nothing Is Wasted Podcast, Davey shares his reflections on the failed trial, and what God is teaching him and all of us when we’re stuck waiting.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Nothing is Wasted Podcast.
0:27.9	My name is Davey Blackburn.
0:28.9	I'm one of your hosts and today Aubrey Samson is not in the studio with us.

1:08.1	to conclude at the end of that week, I think, would December 10th.
1:13.2	And at the very outset, the trial was ruled a mistrial and was rescheduled to April 25th.
1:22.0	And I thought that maybe it would be important, especially since we really ramped things
1:28.2	up and we communicated the trial for the first time in a long time to so many of you in
1:36.2	our email list and over text messages and many of you guys were praying for us.
1:41.2	I thought it would be really appropriate and really important for me to jump on here
1:45.3	and just kind of give some of my reflections about this.
1:50.9	It's been a pretty tough week because of the ruling of the mistrial.
1:54.9	Let me tell you first what happened and then I'll dive into how I feel about it.
2:01.5	Basically, in general terms, what happened is the jury pool was tainted and the judge before
2:11.3	the trial started and right after the jury had been seated, the judge leaked some information
