“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.
