Episode 115: When God Doesn’t Follow Your Timeline

What happens when the life you planned doesn’t unfold on the timeline you expected?

In this episode of herspective, we’re talking about the uncomfortable space between surrender and waiting—the season where you’ve prayed, done the work, tried to trust the process, and still find yourself wondering, God, what are we doing here?

We get personal about the areas of life where surrender has been hardest, from dating and healing after heartbreak to divorce, fertility, unanswered prayers, and the fear that comes with not knowing what happens next. We also unpack how our need for control can show up as anxiety, old patterns, isolation, or trying to force an outcome—and how recognizing those signs can be an invitation to recenter.

Because surrender doesn’t mean you stop wanting the things on your heart. It means learning to trust God with them, even when His answer doesn’t look the way you expected or arrive when you thought it would.

If you’re in a waiting season, struggling to release control, or wondering why God’s plan seems to be taking a completely different route than yours, this conversation is for you. Sometimes the prayer is being answered—you just don’t recognize the answer yet.
