Slow Burn: The Work and Wonder of the Wait

When waiting on God feels like nothing is happening, that's when the slow burn of your faith can quietly kindle inner change.

No one escapes the wait that life brings. Whether it's a job offer, a life partner, or some kind of relief, direction, or healing, we wish we could skip the wait and see what's ahead. And we're weary. Discouraged. Wondering why it has to be this way.

But as we're consumed with longing, are we missing the potential of where we are?

What if the ache of waiting can pull our heart closer to God's heart?

What if waiting is the way to soul transformation, more intimacy with God, and deeper joy along our journey?

Pastor DawnCheré Wilkerson shares her story of waiting on parenthood during her eight-year struggle with infertility and helps you see how to move forward in your own story with faith. Saturated with Scripture, stories, and insights, Slow Burn will help you:

• view waiting as an invitation to transformation and preparation for what's ahead; • choose to trust, surrender, and gain strength through intimacy with God; • open yourself up to community and support; • fan the flame of faith, not fear, and celebrate during uncertainty; • live confident that he is working more powerfully than you know; and • find the purpose, fruit-bearing works, and life-giving moments he has for you now.

Life is a slow burn. Waiting is not a punishment; it's a process. God is not delaying; He's developing. He is not leaving you; He's loving you. Your Father wants to make use of every moment of your wait by transforming you through it.
