Episode 235: Waiting for Wisdom

About this episode

This episode explores how faith invites us to slow down and wait for wisdom amidst anxiety, drawing lessons from the disciples and historical events.

When anxiety pushes us to act fast, faith invites us to slow down. Drawing from Acts 1, this episode explores how the disciples responded to uncertainty after Jesus’ ascension—not with urgency, but with prayerful waiting. Through stories of Apollo 13 and early pioneers, we’re reminded that restraint, trust, and discernment can be the most faithful path forward.
