It is often the gap periods of waiting in our lives that are the most difficult - anxiety and anger can set in, and we may find ourselves going down a negative and destructive path. This very issue is something that Mark Vroegop, the lead pastor of College Park Church, set out to tackle in his book, Waiting Isn’t a Waste: The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life. Mark talks about waiting on God in those “gap moments,” and trusting His provision. Waiting is beautiful, promised, and a biblical command, he says. He also describes it as a “hopeful position that we can live in.” Waiting doesn’t have to be painful - it can be a major growing season for our faith in Jesus. TAKEAWAYS Every person has to discern about when it’s time to wait and when it’s time to move Waiting confronts our desire for control Waiting is part of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ Gaps are meant to remind us that we are NOT God and that we CAN trust Him 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3RG5kGJ Waiting Isn’t a Waste book: https://amzn.to/3UcqTTg College Park Church: https://www.yourchurch.com/   🔗 CONNECT WITH MARK VROEGOP Website: https://markvroegop.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markdvroegop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vroegopmark/ X: https://x.com/MarkVroegop   📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Trail Life: https://blog.traillifeusa.com/lbbb-tina Jacob’s Ladder: https://jacobsladder.us/give/  TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina Pure Bella Vita (get $5 off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/PBVACCM   🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom   📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow   📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM   💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
