If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I thought I’d be further along by now”—this episode is for you.

This week on the Anchored by the Sword podcast, I had the absolute joy of chatting with my friend Rebecca George—speaker, podcast host, ministry leader, and author of the brand-new book It’s Not Too Late: Trusting God in a Hurry Up World. She shares powerful encouragement for anyone who is navigating seasons of waiting, unfulfilled longing, or weariness from striving.

We talk about the real-life tensions of trusting God when things don’t happen on our timeline—how we idolize good things, revise the past, catastrophize the future, and miss what God is doing right now. Rebecca’s personal journey of delayed dreams, deep faith, and holy surrender is one that will breathe life into your tired heart.

If you’re holding a good desire that hasn’t come to pass yet—this conversation reminds you: it’s not too late. Whether you’re waiting on a promise, navigating disappointment, or wrestling with hurry and hustle culture, this conversation is a fresh dose of encouragement to stay anchored in truth. God hasn’t forgotten you. You don’t have to strive your way into His love. And there’s still beauty and purpose in the middle of your story.
