Staff Talks with Francis: The Strength in Waiting

About this episode

Francis discusses the importance of waiting on God and how it can refresh our hearts and renew our strength.

Why are so many of us burning out so quickly? What if the answer to our exhaustion wasn’t in more energy drinks, but in learning to embrace the quiet and waiting on the strength of God? In this episode, Francis shares a handful of stories from around the world to illustrate how spending time alone with God truly refreshes our hearts, brings peace to our souls, and empowers us with His Spirit to become all we were created to be. As we learn to be still in His presence and embrace the beauty of silence with Him, our strength is renewed, our vision becomes clear, and our identity is found as His beloved son or daughter.
