The In-Between Series – Episode 4; Delayed but Not Denied
Is God still working when life feels delayed?
In the final episode of The In-Between, Steven explores one of the most powerful truths of the Christian walk: God provides according to His perfect timing; His Kairos, not our calendar. When doors stay closed, opportunities take longer than expected, and life feels stuck, it’s easy to believe that nothing is happening. But Scripture tells a very different story.
This episode dives deep into what it means to trust God’s timing, embrace your purpose while you wait, and understand that a delay is not a denial. Steven shares personal reflections from his own season of unemployment, highlighting how God provides peace, clarity, strength, and direction long before circumstances shift.
Through key passages like Galatians 6:9, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Philippians 1:6, and Isaiah 60:22, this conversation anchors listeners in the hope that God is always working behind the scenes, preparing, shaping, and positioning us for the right moment.
🔹 In this episode you’ll learn:
• The difference between Chronos (our timing) and Kairos (God’s timing)
• Why delays in life don’t mean God has denied your purpose
• How to recognize God’s provision in subtle, everyday ways
• What it means to live with purpose even in seasons of uncertainty
• A practical way to track God’s faithfulness while you wait
If you’re navigating uncertainty, waiting for a breakthrough, or wondering how God is using this season of your life, this episode will remind you that your story is not on pause, you are being prepared for the appointed time.

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.
