  • What if waiting isn’t wasted time—but the very place God is shaping you most?

    In this episode of Coffee and Bible Time, we talk about what it looks like to stay faithful while trusting in God’s timing, especially when life feels unclear or delayed. Waiting is often misunderstood as inactivity, but Scripture shows us it is a season of active faith, emotional honesty, and daily obedience.

    We discuss how to walk through waiting with wisdom, peace, and perspective.

    In this episode, we cover:

    Why biblical waiting is active, not passive How to process emotions during uncertain seasons Taking the “next God-honoring step” The role of wise counsel and community Surrendering outcomes to God Finding peace in trusting in God’s timing

    Scripture referenced:
    Psalm 27:14 | Psalm 130:5 | Isaiah 40:31 | Psalm 119:105 | He is the potter, we are the clay | Philippians 4:6 | James 1:5 | Proverbs 15:22 | Colossians 1:16 | Romans 8:28

    Reflection questions:
    1. Am I actively trusting God or am I merely enduring the waiting?
    2. What is the next obvious God honoring step that I can take today?
    3. Am I seeking God through prayer? Am I seeking God through scripture?
    4. Have I sought wise counsel from mature believers?
    5. Am I trusting and surrendering the outcome to the Lord?

  • Taylor joins Ellen to walk through one of the most beloved passages in Scripture—Psalm 23. From “green pastures” to “the valley of the shadow of death,” Psalm 23 paints a picture of a Shepherd who leads, protects, and stays near even in the hardest seasons of life.

    Together, they talk about:

    what it means that the Lord is our Shepherd when life feels out of control why anxiety often comes from our desire for control and certainty how God invites us into real rest what it looks like to trust God in “valley seasons” that don’t end quickly how Scripture redefines suffering as a place of God’s presence, not absence

    If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted, Psalm 23 offers a deeply comforting reminder: you are not walking through life alone.

  • In today’s culture, appearance matters more than ever. From social media to fashion to aging, Christian women are constantly told what to look like, what to buy, and who to become. But what does Scripture actually say about beauty — and how does our identity in Christ reshape the way we see ourselves?

    In this episode, Ellen talks with Ashleigh Brophy, creative director of Preserve Magazine, about:

    • How to break free from cultural beauty standards
    • What identity in Christ means for everyday confidence and worth
    • How creativity, motherhood, and calling flow from a secure foundation in Christ
    • How to renew your mind about appearance and comparison
    • Why biblical beauty begins with rest in your identity in Christ, not striving

    True beauty isn’t something you achieve — it’s something that flows from a heart anchored in your identity in Christ.
