Have you ever felt like you’re waiting on God to show up? Maybe you're in a season where faithfulness feels hard, or you wonder if what you’re doing really matters. If so, this episode is for you.  

I’m joined by the incredible Kelly Minter, a Bible teacher, author, and worship leader who is passionate about living out her faith in both big and small ways. We talk about one of Kelly’s favorite women of the Bible—Elizabeth—and how her story of faithfulness and perseverance can encourage us in our own waiting seasons.  

We also dive into Kelly’s amazing work in the Amazon with Justice & Mercy International, where she serves alongside jungle pastors to reach vulnerable communities. Whether it’s serving globally or right in our own neighborhoods, Kelly shares practical ways we can step into God’s calling, even when we feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.  

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

- God is always at work, even when we can’t see it.  

- Serving doesn’t have to be big or far away—it starts in our own communities.  

- Community fuels our faith—we don’t have to do it alone.  

- Saying yes to God’s leading will always lead to deeper joy and purpose.  

Kelly’s wisdom and personal stories will inspire you to step forward in faith, trust God’s timing, and embrace the blessings of serving others. If you’ve been waiting on God or wondering how to make a difference, this episode is your invitation to say yes and watch Him move!  

Kelly Minter is a Bible teacher, author, and worship leader who is passionate about teaching the Word of God.
