Waiting Isn't Wasting

Jul 4, 2026 • Evan Norris, Justin Ryder

This episode of The Preview Podcast continues the summer prayer push by focusing on praying for Louisiana—asking God to bring revival, guide state government officials, protect statewide first responders, and strengthen local churches and the Louisiana Baptist Convention in gospel unity. The hosts preview Joshua 14:6–15, where Caleb, now 85, recalls Moses’ promise, his faithful report as a spy, and God’s preservation for 45 years, then asks Joshua for the hill country still occupied by the Anakim, trusting God to help him drive them out. They emphasize God’s long-term faithfulness, the value of older believers in church service and discipleship, intergenerational mentoring, and patient perseverance in waiting for God’s promises rather than giving up or writing oneself off.
