ABOUT THE EPISODE
Have you ever sensed God saying “not yet”? In episode 14, Sarah sits down with Dr. Julia Hurlow who shares about a long season of waiting—a ten-year journey that involved multiple moves, job uncertainty, and dreams deferred. Sarah and Julia talk about contentment, the role of community, and finding a sense of “home” when nothing goes as planned.

These experiences have influenced her desire to embody authentic relationships that mirror the love and belonging of the Divine Triune God through making meaning in the world.
