"Patienting": the fine art of holy waiting
how learning to wait well is the wellspring of patient joy
You know that feeling when you're stuck waiting for something, whether it's a long line at the grocery store or eagerly anticipating a life-changing event? Well, today we dive into the concept of "patienting" and how it completely flips the script on waiting.
Note | You are invited to go deeper by using our extensive digital book that includes, for each of our 12 episodes in the series, a listening guide, questions to ponder, key takeaways and key quotes, topics to go deeper, and more.

What's "Patienting" anyway? It comes from the French “patienter” which is translated “wait” in English, but encompasses so much more! "Patienting" is a super intentional form of waiting. It's not just twiddling your thumbs or feeling annoyed; it's about embracing patience as a strength, finding hope in the waiting, and actively growing through the process.
Patienting also has to do with trusting God's timing when you'd rather not wait – which is much easier said than done. You ever feel like waiting is just not your thing? I invite you today to reflect on how, when we surrender to the idea of holy waiting, it's like saying, "Okay, God, I see You've got a plan here." It's all about finding peace and hope even in the midst of our impatience, thanks to prayer and trust in God's perfect timing.
Scripture serves up some fascinating examples, like Job and Moses, to show how patience is something we learn through experiences, especially the humbling ones. It's like building up our patience muscles through life's ups and downs, and coming out stronger and wiser on the other side.
Patience as a superpower in a fast-paced world. Being patient isn't exactly the trendiest thing, right? But when we show patience and kindness to others, especially when it's tough for us, it not only fills us with hope but also spreads that hope to others. It's like a superpower that grows the more we use it!
Waiting with a purpose, ultimately, showcases the transformative power of "patienting." By shifting our mindset on waiting and embracing "patienting," we start to see waiting as a season of personal and spiritual growth. It's about sowing seeds of patience, having faith in God's perfect timing, and coming out stronger on the other side.
In a world that's all about hustle and bustle, "patienting" offers a fresh take on waiting, aligning with the core Biblical truths of faith, hope, and endurance. By adopting a patient mindset and embracing the art of waiting well, we're encouraged to find strength and hope in our waiting, knowing that it will all be worth it in the end. That, too, is the gospel!
