233: How God Works in the Waiting: Lessons from Jonah, Esther & Job

If you feel stuck and you're waiting for God to move but nothing ever seems to be happening... I promise you, God is always at work!

In this episode, we dive into the stories of Jonah, Esther, Job, the Israelites, and Hannah to show you that waiting seasons are never wasted seasons. Each of these Biblical characters faced moments of fear, uncertainty, and delay — yet God was moving behind the scenes the entire time.

Jonah reminds us that even when we run from God’s plans, He can redirect our path.
Esther teaches us to trust God’s timing when courage is needed most.
Job shows us how to hold onto faith when everything feels lost.
The Israelites reveal God’s faithfulness even in the wilderness.
Hannah gives us hope that heartfelt prayers never go unheard.

Whether you’re facing a career change, praying for breakthrough, or simply waiting for clarity, this conversation will give you Biblical wisdom and encouragement to trust God’s plan, even when you can’t see what He’s doing.

Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
