About this episode

Pastor Josh Gatewood discusses how to worship while waiting during seasons of suffering and feeling distant from God, emphasizing that these moments can deepen trust and dependence on Him.

This sermon from Job 23 focuses on the question, “How do we worship while we wait?” Pastor Josh Gatewood explains that seasons of suffering, weakness, and feeling distant from God are a normal part of the Christian life. Like Job, believers may experience times when God seems absent, yet God is often using those moments to deepen their trust, teach dependence on Him, and reveal that His grace is sufficient. The message emphasized that deeper worship often comes through greater weakness, as trials expose our need for God and draw us closer to Him.
