When Not Yet Becomes Now

In this episode, Gari and Ally explore what it means to keep trusting God through longstanding prayers, unanswered questions, and seasons when heaven seems silent. Through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1, they unpack how ordinary obedience in the waiting can become the setting for extraordinary acts of God and how doubt, disappointment, and our own timelines can shape what we believe is still possible. This conversation encourages us to keep praying, keep obeying, and trust that even in the long, quiet places, God is still at work shaping our faith, deepening our surrender, and moving in His perfect time.
