In this milestone episode, we reflect on the lessons learned during our recent ‘prayerful pause’. Instead of walking away with a grand plan, we discovered something deeper—a renewed spirit, a rested soul, and a thankful heart. 

Together, we’ll explore how seasons of waiting can shape our faith, guide our stewardship, and reframe how we view both scarcity and abundance.

Join us as we embrace the pause, lean into God’s whispers, and find peace in serving faithfully right where we are.

In this episode, John discusses:

  • The value of a ‘pause’ even when it doesn’t deliver a clear plan
  • How waiting seasons can strengthen our stewardship journey
  • Hearing God’s direction in subtle, quiet ways
  • Staying faithful with what we already have

Key Takeaways:

  • Pausing may not always reveal all the answers, but it can restore, refresh, and reignite.
  • When clarity is missing, we can look back at what God has already done and faithfully use what we have.
  • God often guides us through gentle whispers, not always in dramatic signs, teaching us to slow down and listen closely.
  • Seasons of waiting are not wasted—they are times when God is preparing us for the next faithful step.

“Pausing does not come easy for me… but I knew that God was inviting me to walk closer to Him and to clarity and to you, this community around Money Made Faithful.”
