Tom Petty was right: 'The waiting IS the hardest part.' No one likes being put on hold or left in silence, especially when we’re longing to hear from God. So, how do we respond when God seems quiet? One of the essential skills we need to develop is what the Bible calls 'waiting on the Lord.' Though it may sound like a cliché, waiting on God is one of the most profound ways we learn to navigate life’s darker seasons.

Disappointment, heartbreak and illness are part of life and when we are walking through those things it can be so easy to feel like we're all alone. In this episode of Trinity Talks Kylah sits down with some of those who are called to walk alongside people in the darkest parts of life. At Trinity, these people are known as "Stephen Ministers". Listen in as we talk about what a Stephen Minister is, how they care for those experiencing difficulties, and how this ministry has shaped people's lives and faith. You might even find that it shapes yours as well.

Like the iconic movie The Breakfast Club, Jesus shared a meal with a group of people from different walks of life—each with their own stories and failures. Yet, despite their differences, Jesus welcomed them into fellowship, offering reconciliation with each other and with God.
