Episode Details

Have you ever felt like your entire spiritual walk is an endless cycle of hurry up and wait? You rush to take a step of faith, obey God, or face a medical or financial crisis, only to be met with complete silence. When our circumstances feel urgent, we naturally assume God should move with urgency too. However, as we look at the ministry of Jesus, His timing rarely matches our expectations. In this teaching, Ryan Kramer examines the story of Jairus from Matthew 9 and Mark 5 to show what happens when Jesus intentionally slows down during a life-or-death emergency. -- Understanding the origin of "hurry up and wait" and how commanded soldiers must trust their officer's higher perspective and timing. -- Exploring Jairus's desperate plea as a respected synagogue leader risking his pride, status, and reputation for his dying daughter. -- Analyzing the intentional delay caused by the woman with the issue of blood and how Jesus values both the prominent leader and the forgotten outcast equally. -- Examining the heart-wrenching moment Jairus received news of his daughter's death and why Jesus commanded him to "Don't be afraid. Just have faith." -- Discovering why Jesus never panics in any crisis, whether facing disease, storms, demonic oppression, or death itself. -- Realizing that Jesus often uses seasons of waiting to do a work inside of us before doing a work for us.
