Desire, Delay, and Denial: What Waiting Reveals About our Devotion

In this solo episode, Ryan Dawn takes listeners into the story of Abraham — not the highlight reel, but the quiet, difficult years of waiting between promise and fulfillment. With honesty and depth, she explores how desire, when unmet or delayed, can shape our spiritual lives — sometimes deepening our devotion, other times becoming distorted into idols.

Drawing from biblical narrative and personal reflection, Ryan shares how God uses seasons of delay to transform us — not just our circumstances. She unpacks why we often want "Abraham results" without "Abraham waiting," and how surrendering control can lead to deeper intimacy with God.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in between what God spoke and what you're actually seeing — this episode is a reminder that your waiting isn’t wasted.

✨ Topics covered:

• Why God gives promises, not plans
• The difference between desire and idolatry
• How control can quietly take over our faith
• Building altars to God instead of to our wants
• What our waiting reveals about our hearts

Scripture-rich, deeply reflective, and honest — this is for anyone walking through a long season of longing.
