Episode 412 - The Work and Wonder of the Wait with DawnCheré Wilkerson
How do you trust God in seasons of waiting? How do you testify to His faithfulness when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for?
Pastor and author DawnCheré Wilkerson never expected her long journey through infertility to become such a significant part of her story. Yet, as she found herself in an extended season of waiting, God invited her to share honestly about both the pain and the promises she discovered along the way. Though she eventually welcomed four children, DawnCheré encountered a unique beauty available only in seasons of anticipation—and learned that even in the wait, God continually reveals who He is. She captures this experience in her book, Slow Burn: The Work and Wonder of the Wait.
In this conversation, Davey sits down with DawnCheré to discuss how to remain tenderhearted as a leader, how to discern when to begin sharing your story, and how to recognize what God is forming in you during seasons of waiting.
If you’re in a chapter where your heart longs for something yet unseen, this episode will remind you that God is at work in every season—and that there is wonder woven into the wait.
“I find that the story that God wants to tell through our life is often not the one that we expect or think.”
“I can allow others to identify with my pain without allowing my pain to identify me.”
