Episode 179: When Your Breakthrough Doesn’t Come: What to Do While You’re Waiting on God

Have you ever prayed for a breakthrough, believed with all your heart, and still found yourself waiting?

Still trusting.

Still hoping.

Still wondering why nothing seems to be changing.

In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, it’s just the two of us—no guest—because this conversation is for anyone walking through a season where the breakthrough hasn’t come yet.

We talk honestly about what happens when God feels silent, when the miracle doesn’t arrive on your timeline, and when you’re tempted to quit believing altogether. Wendie breaks down seven practical, faith-based principles that show you exactly what to do while you’re waiting—how to stay aligned with God’s will, take meaningful action, and keep your heart engaged instead of discouraged.

We also share real-life stories of delayed breakthroughs—health battles, infertility, healing journeys—to remind you that waiting doesn’t mean God isn’t working. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t just about what God is doing for you, but what He’s doing in you.

If you’re in a waiting season right now, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope to keep moving forward without giving up.
