“I just think we need to back up a little bit and relax, learn to be patient, and see how God’s going to go to work....We know God’s Word works, so just believe God’s Word! And we will get to our desired destination.”In this episode, Lauren Schiano interviews Rev. Marcia Greene, a seasoned minister and the author of a Way Magazine article from 2011 entitled “When Healing Takes Time.” Healing (physical, mental, relational) doesn’t always happen in a straight line. In this episode, Lauren and Marcia talk about the frustration of slow progress, setbacks, and unanswered questions, and why comparison and timelines can make healing harder. They explore a more honest view of healing and growth—one that allows for patience, endurance, and believing without pretending that illness, a broken heart, and pain will always automatically disappear overnight. Drawing from Scripture, they look at healing as a process that can unfold over time, offering a believing image of victory that doesn’t ignore reality. Do you need healing in your life? This episode is sure to provide helpful encouragement.Conversation Links:II Peter Isaiah As a Man Thinketh, by James AllenProverbs Lamentations John Romans Psalm II Corinthians I Corinthians Hebrews Romans Acts The Way Magazine Jan/Feb 2011, “When Healing Takes Time”WMAE 025: When Healing Takes TimeMark “Believing for Victory: Picture It!”II Timothy Proverbs Romans Romans To Learn More about The Way International:https://linktr.ee/thewayintlhttps://www.theway.org/contact-us/Certain opinions expressed in this podcast may or may not represent the views of The Way International.All music used is either owned by The Way International, is used with permission, has been purchased for use, or is in the public domain.
