Have you ever wondered what God is doing in your life—especially when you can’t feel His presence? In this episode, Dr. Jim Burns is joined by Laurie Short who shares her personal journey through singleness, disappointment, and learning to trust God’s timing even when the path didn’t look the way she expected. She reflects on how God often opens doors we weren’t looking for and how those unexpected paths can lead exactly where we need to go. Together, they talk about discovering God in the middle of life’s mess and what it practically means to “wait well.” It’s an honest and encouraging conversation for anyone learning to trust God in seasons of uncertainty.
