Season of Waiting
What does it mean to wait well? Whether you’re navigating a job decision, facing a pending layoff, considering an MBA, waiting on a relational goal, or wrestling with unanswered prayers, seasons of waiting can be challenging. Come learn how to stay rooted in God and continue to grow even when the answer hasn’t come yet.
Our invited speaker brings a unique perspective, having served as a math teacher, worship pastor, homeless ministry pastor, senior pastor, and now executive coach, along with personal experiences navigating his own “seasons of waiting.”
Lunch will be provided with registration. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful and practical conversation.
