Rise with Brian Turner

9: When God Speaks Slowly (And Why That's Grace)

Listen

Description

Many believers expect that when God speaks, His guidance will be clear, direct, and immediate. So when clarity comes slowlyโ€”when direction unfolds in pieces rather than all at onceโ€”it can feel confusing, frustrating, or even disappointing. Slow guidance is often interpreted as silence, resistance, or delay.

In this reflective and pastoral episode of Rise with Brian Turner, Brian invites listeners to reconsider what Godโ€™s pace actually reveals about His character. Drawing from Scripture and lived pastoral wisdom, ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ž๐ฉ๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ž ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐†๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ž๐ง ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐š๐ค๐ฌ ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒโ€”๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐›๐ž๐œ๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐‡๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐œ๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ, ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐›๐ž๐œ๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐‡๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐, ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐›๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ.

Rather than offering full maps or instant certainty, God frequently gives enough light for the next faithful step, inviting trust instead of control and relationship instead of independence. Brian reflects on how Scripture consistently portrays God as one who reveals Himself progressively, protecting His people from moving faster than their wisdom, character, or faith are ready to sustain.

If you are in a season where prayer feels unanswered, direction feels incomplete, or Godโ€™s voice seems quieter than you hoped, this episode offers reassurance that slowness is not absence and waiting is not wasted. ๐†๐จ๐โ€™๐ฌ ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ž๐ง ๐‡๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ค๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐œ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฌ๐ž, ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ž๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž.
