Ep54 Finding Hope in Times of Waiting Pt 1

We have transcripts available for the first time on this episode!

In this conversation on Love God First, we explore the theme of waiting through the story of Noah in Genesis 8. We discuss the challenges of waiting, the importance of active waiting, and how to find hope and encouragement during periods of waiting. We will look at the first of four lessons we can learn from Noah's example (yes, this is a two-parter). Ultimately, this episode will encourage listeners to trust in God's timing and to remain faithful, patient, and filled with hope during their waiting times. 

Takeaways

• Waiting is a common struggle for many people.
• Noah's story teaches us about the value of patience.
• Active waiting can lead to personal growth and character development.
