What If Waiting Is Part of the Work?

Welcome to today's episode of the Daily Bible Refresh with Dr. Brad Miller, where we approach scripture from a progressive perspective to unearth lessons relevant to daily life. In this episode, Dr. Miller reads from Acts 1:1-5 and explores what it means to wait faithfully for spiritual guidance, highlighting the value of communal trust, relationships formed around simple moments, and the empowering nature of the Holy Spirit. He connects these biblical insights to personal experiences in family and ministry, offers practical action steps for listeners, and invites everyone to support the mission of spreading hope and love through the Voice of God Daily platform.

Key Takeaways:

1. Waiting is not passive but an attentive, communal act rooted in trusting God's timing.
2. The Kingdom of God is built through genuine relationships and shared ordinary moments, rather than through power or control.
3. Spiritual empowerment is about courage and shared hope, not about domination or rigid answers.
4. Small, intentional pauses in daily life allow space for spiritual clarity and compassion.
5. Supporting and sharing the Voice of God Daily platform helps spread progressive faith perspectives to a broader audience.
