Ep. 170 - When God’s Timing Feels Too Slow (Genesis 16 Study)

Send a text

Waiting on God is never easy—especially when His promises feel delayed and our plans seem more efficient. In this episode, Jim and Gary Harpst unpack the tension in Genesis 16, where Sarai and Abram take matters into their own hands… and the consequences that follow.

Through the story of Hagar, we explore:

What happens when we rush ahead of God

The emotional cost of impatience

How God meets us—even in our mess

Why He is still the God who sees us, even when we feel forgotten

If you've ever wrestled with waiting, doubted God's timeline, or tried to "help Him out," this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away with wisdom, hope, and a deeper trust in the God who always shows up—even when it seems too late.
