What if becoming "different and better" takes longer than we'd like? And what if that slowness is actually grace?

This week on The Cutting Room Floor, we sit down with Scott Nickell and Jon Weece to talk through what didn't make it into Sunday's sermon. The conversation moves from the weight of finishing a season, to the quiet faithfulness God builds over decades, to why ministry still comes down to loving the one right in front of you.

This episode reflects on tested faith, spiritual patience, and the kind of obedience that grows slowly. It's honest, grounded, and full of reminders that God is faithful in every season, especially the transitional ones.

The challenge:

Slow down. Be patient. Stay intentional. God isn't finished with you yet and the work He's doing now is shaping something better.

Hosts: Neil Gregory, Scott Nickell & Jon Weece
