In this episode, Barbara reflects on a season of deep discouragement and the moment she realized it wasn’t a setback but a test of faith. Through personal insight and powerful biblical examples from David, Moses, and Joseph, she unpacks what it means to stay focused on God’s promises, resist shortcuts, and trust the process even when answers don’t come quickly. If you have prayed, waited, and wondered if faith is costing you something, this is a reminder that testing seasons are not punishment but preparation. Passing the test today positions you for the promises of tomorrow.
