Description

Episode Description: What happens when you've prayed, believed, and stood on God's promises for years—but still haven't seen them fulfilled? In this deeply personal episode, Stacy opens up about her 21-year journey with her son Dylan and what God is teaching her through Hebrews 11:13 about a faith that can hold both belief and surrender at the same time.

This isn't another teaching on unanswered prayers. This is about living out a faith that mirrors the Old Testament saints—people who died without seeing the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises, yet never stopped believing. If you're in a season of waiting, testing, or wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is for you.

The 4-Step Spiritual Practice:

1. IDENTIFY - What promise of God are you standing on? Name it. Be specific.
2. HONOR - Acknowledge that God's promise IS true. It's not presumption to believe God—it's faith.
3. SURRENDER - Pray with open hands (literally): "God, this promise is Yours. I believe it. I trust You. And I surrender the timing and the method of fulfillment to You."
4. LIVE - Walk forward in faith that honors both the promise AND the surrender.

Reflection Questions:

• How is your faith being tested right now?
• What promise are you white-knuckling that God might be asking you to surrender back to Him?
• Are you waiting for healing, restoration in a relationship, a prodigal child, financial breakthrough, or a dream that seems to be dying?
• How does living in an instant-gratification culture affect your ability to wait on God's timing?
