The In-Between Series – Episode 3; The Waiting
What do you do when you’ve prayed, applied, waited… and still nothing changes?
In Episode 3 of The In-Between, Steven explores one of the hardest parts of any transition: the long, silent season of waiting. When job applications go unanswered, opportunities stall, and doors stay closed, it’s easy to wonder if God sees you... or if He’s still working at all.
This episode takes an honest look at the emotional and spiritual challenges of waiting, especially during unemployment or major life uncertainty. Drawing from powerful Scriptures like Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 27:13–14, Lamentations 3:22–23, and Romans 5:3–5, Steven unpacks how God uses the wilderness not to punish us, but to prepare us.
🔹 In this episode you’ll learn:
• Why waiting seasons feel so heavy and why they matter
• What the Bible teaches about patience, perseverance, and spiritual growth
• How God strengthens us in the waiting, not just after
• Practical ways to stay grounded when hope feels distant
• How to trust God when it seems like nothing is happening
If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, overlooked, or spiritually drained during a long season of waiting, this episode will remind you that you’re not forgotten—God is working even in the silence.

Hey friends, this has been on my heart for a long time…
I’ve wanted to add a charity component to The Nook Podcast—a way for this community to rally together and actually make a difference in the lives of hurting people.
And I can’t think of a better recipient than Crisis Aid International.
Together, we can be the light in the darkest places.
