About this listen
Read by the author.
Waiting isn't a season. Waiting is life. The question is, Will you live in the wait?
We don't ever graduate from waiting. After one prayer is answered, a new one begins, putting us back in the "space between." Are you hoping for an illness to subside, a job to open up, a relationship to develop, or some other heartfelt transformation? This slow burn is the human experience—and the greatest invitation to become intimately acquainted with a faithful God.
Waiting is hard, but it's not a punishment; it's a process. God is not delaying; He's developing. He is not leaving you; He's loving you. He's saying, Come closer. Let me lead you into wonder and show you how you can live wholeheartedly right here, right now.
DawnCheré Wilkerson will speak strength to your soul and give you tools to
- live confident that God is working more powerfully than you know;
- wrestle with the question, What if what I hope for doesn't happen?;
- find the purpose and life-giving moments he has for you now; and
- view all of life as a joyful, soul-deepening, intimacy-building wait.
More strength, expectation, and patience are within your reach, even amid uncertainty and suffering. Lean into the work of the wait—the constant, steady, slow burn of faith and surrender to your ultimate source. And you'll discover the wonder of the wait—glimpses of heaven, a perfect love that changes you, and each step celebrated along the way.

Do you long for a richer life? One that's lighter, freer, and more focused on who and what matters? As moms who are busy, stressed out, and living in survival mode, we feel desperate for peace—with ourselves, our families, our homes, and God. But we often don't know how to find it. God wants us to experience abundant life—and it all starts with clearing clutter, first in our hearts, then in our homes. Julia Ubbenga—creator of the popular blog Rich in What Matters—is a guide and companion as she shares the tips, tricks, and inspiring lessons she's learned on her own journey to minimalism.

The whirlwind of chaos and confusion barreling toward you has likely caught you completely off guard. Maybe you're navigating a season of transition—a career shift, a major life adjustment, or just an unshakable sense of disorientation. When the things that once brought fulfillment no longer seem to work, when the familiar feels foreign, and when life feels like it's slipped out of your control, you're actually in the perfect position for God to lead you to greater heights.

In The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it. The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history—including the first murder, Cain's killing of his brother, Abel—and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.
