In this video, Jonathan Evans gets into Exodus 32—the moment the Israelites grew impatient, created their own story, and traded their worship for a golden calf. Their mistake wasn’t just idolatry… it was impatience. They assumed God was taking too long, so they took control. Sound familiar?
When God doesn’t move according to our internal stopwatch, our hearts often drift the same way. Waiting reveals what’s inside of us. It exposes whether our faith is truly in God—or in our expectations. The Israelites turned to substitutes when the wait felt too long. Today, our idols look different, but the temptation is the same: distraction, shortcuts, relationships, addictions, self-reliance.
Just because God feels delayed doesn’t mean He’s distant. Just because He’s silent doesn’t mean He’s absent. Just because you’re waiting doesn’t mean He’s not working. In this video, we explore:
- Why God allows waiting seasons
- Why impatience leads to spiritual drift
- How worry trades places with worship
- The danger of creating your own timeline
- The hope of Christ’s return—and what it means to “wait well”
