What if God isn't asking you to do more in this season, but inviting you to slow down and spend time with Him?
In this episode of Not Just Waiting, I'm joined by Janelle Nobles, writer, mentor, and author of From Discipline to Delight, a Bible plan designed to help people grow in their love for God's Word.
After walking through some incredibly difficult seasons, including her husband's stage four cancer diagnosis and her young grandson's battle with leukemia, Janelle found herself in an unexpected season of soul care. Rather than focusing on what came next, God invited her to slow down, sit with Him, and allow Him to tend to her heart.
We talk about what it looks like to prioritize time with Jesus when life is full, why caring for your soul isn't selfish, and how God sometimes develops our character long before He asks us to step into our calling. Janelle also shares how learning to guard her heart, release expectations, and embrace the slow work of God transformed her relationship with Jesus.
If you've been feeling pressure to make something happen, figure out what's next, or turn every lesson God teaches you into something you can share with others, this conversation is an invitation to pause.
Because sometimes, the most important thing God is doing in your waiting season is what He's doing in you.
In this episode, we talk about:
Learning to prioritize soul care without feeling selfish
Spending extended, uninterrupted time with Jesus
Allowing God to shape your character before advancing your calling
Learning to guard your heart and protect your time with God
Releasing expectations of yourself and other people
Finding your identity in being deeply loved by Jesus
Practicing stillness, slowing down, and creating margin in your life
What it means to wait well when God is inviting you to be still
