About this listen
What do you do when it seems like everybody else is getting their dreams and you're not? Heather Thompson Day shows us what we can do to shape ourselves while waiting so we are ready when it's our turn. Unpacking comparison and instant gratification, she teaches how we can cultivate perspectives and practices that help us trust God while we're waiting for our turn to come.

Story
We are surrounded by choices. If we want to watch a movie, we have multiple platforms we can choose from. If we grow tired of a friend or conversation, we leave them on read. It's never been easier to tune out and make a switch when something doesn't go perfectly or when we are offended. It's easy to cancel something from our lives when it comes to technology, television shows, or choices of food and drinks. But what about canceling friends or family members when we are disappointed or offended by them?

It's tough when your gifts and passions are stuck in holding patterns of insecurity, shame, and comparison. But the truth is, every experience of your life has prepared you to live out your God-given purpose in this exact moment. The world is hurting and our lives are waiting, we don't have time stay stuck--we've got to make a move. You Are the Girl for the Job is not an empty catchphrase. It's the straight-up truth God has proclaimed over your life from the beginning. It's not a statement about your capacity, but rather about His.

From the moment He arrived on the scene, Jesus posed a threat to the unjust, a threat to the oppressors, and a threat to every semblance of authority wielded by the kingdom of darkness. He invaded the world with love for the forgotten, hope for the hopeless, and freedom for the bound. His ideas were disruptive, subversive, and scandalous to the world around Him.

Together, we will move toward trusting God again, knowing that even though Christian community may fail us, the love of God never fails. When we say yes to God, we don’t say yes to church politics, ladder climbing, or burnout. We say yes to Jesus. We say yes to hope. We say yes to much that we can still embrace.

It's time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker.

Honi's story transformed author Mark Batterson's own experience with prayer and inspired him to document his journey to praying more powerful prayers in The Circle Maker.

American evangelical Christianity has lost its way. While the witness of the church before a watching world is diminished beyond recognition, congregations are torn apart over Donald Trump, Christian nationalism, racial injustice, sexual predation, disgraced leaders, and covered-up scandals. Left behind are millions of believers who counted on the church to be a place of belonging and hope. As greater and greater numbers of younger Americans bleed out from the church, even the most rooted evangelicals are wondering, “Can American Christianity survive?”

In this hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, we feel more anxious than ever. Despite all the affirming memes and self-reflections that dominate social media feeds, approval and worth often seem assigned to what we do rather than who we are. And we end up constantly feeling like we’re behind, lacking, and failing - at home, at work, with friends, with God.

First book I ever gave snaps to while listening
Listening to Heather’s book is a mix of a lecture with the highest rated professor at your college and a long two glass of wine dinner with an old friend. I started the audiobook on a road trip and continued it on my walks, feeling not just the wisdom of a woman of deep faith, but the presence of the Holy Spirit in her words.
I wondered more than once how Heather must have prayed over her words and the people they would impact. It is so evident in her writing. She is a researcher storyteller of the highest caliber. This book will be a rest stop and a life raft for many a weary journeyer.

Full of Gems
As much as we don’t ever want to hear that it’s not our turn, and that we have to wait- Heather Thompson Day explains the ways that God uses this waiting time for our benefit and blessing. It’s almost as if she were directly speaking to me and my circumstances. The stories she shares are very relatable, and helpful. I will be reading it again- this time with a pen and paper to jot down the many gems I want to remind myself of as I wait for my turn.

This book is so amazing! This is my second time listening through and I cannot say it enough - this book can reach many people in many different phases in life.
For the millennial who turns on social media and feels left behind. For the struggling Christian, or the discouraged stay at home or working mom. THIS IS A BOOK FOR ALL!
