In this episode of The Abundance Method Podcast, Sarah explores why waiting on God is not passive—it is spiritual warfare.
For high-capacity women who are used to solving problems, initiating action, and creating outcomes, waiting can feel unnatural and even threatening. But throughout Scripture, God repeatedly calls His people to stand firm and remain still before He moves.
Using the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea in Exodus 14, Sarah explains why stillness often comes before deliverance—and why obedience sometimes looks like restraint rather than movement.
This episode also dives into the neuroscience of waiting and why the nervous system reacts so strongly to uncertainty. When we don’t have answers or outcomes, the brain interprets that uncertainty as a threat, triggering urgency, stress hormones, and the desire to act prematurely.
But when we learn to regulate our nervous system and remain aligned with God, waiting becomes the place where discernment, trust, and obedience are formed.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why waiting on God is not weakness but spiritual warfare
• What Scripture reveals about stillness and obedience
• How the nervous system reacts to uncertainty and lack of control
• Why urgency often comes from neurological stress—not discernment
• Practical ways to regulate your body so you can hear God clearly
If you’re in a season where God has asked you to wait, this conversation will help you understand why stillness is not delay—it is formation.
