The Wisdom Journey

Share a comment Waiting can feel like wasted time, until you realize it’s often where your faith gets tested the most. We start with a simple frustration we all share and then step into John 14, where the disciples hear Jesus say He’s leaving them for a place they can’t go yet. Philip speaks up with a question that sounds a lot like ours: “Show us the Father.” He wants something tangible, something certain, something that makes the waiting easier.
