About this episode
Lea Giesbrecht discusses her experiences with waiting on God's timing amidst personal struggles and immigration challenges.
What do you do when God keeps telling you wait — and your whole life feels stuck on pause? In this powerful episode of People of Distinction, author Lea Giesbrecht opens up about immigration battles, cross-cultural tensions, and the quiet, stubborn faith that kept her from throwing in the towel — all detailed in her raw and riveting memoir, The Courage to Wait: A Memoir of God's Goodness and Faithfulness . Whether you're white-knuckling your way through a delay you don't understand or simply tired of being told "trust the timing," this conversation will give you the permission slip you didn't know you needed. Grab your copy on Amazon and Barnes & Noble — and pick one up for someone who needs it too.
