Episode notes
God's Timing vs. Our Expectations
- God rarely operates according to our timelines, especially regarding prayer.
- Trusting God involves accepting this and focusing on worship, even amidst hardship.

- Jason compares humans to goldfish in a bowl, limited in their understanding of a larger world.
- We overestimate our capacity to grasp God's grand story and timing, like goldfish unaware of life outside their tank.
