SHAPING LEADERS

Episode 170: When God’s Timing Feels Too Slow (Genesis 16 Study)

​

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.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

Often, what makes a decision a mistake is not the decision itself
but the how and when the decision is carried out.

Your stories include a variety of people. Some you barely remember and others who made a unique impression on your soul. Some of these people belong to you by choice and others are inescapable. In a sense, the living narrative of your life is bigger than you.
