Waiting isn’t just a season. Waiting is life.

This four-part collection is based on Pastor DawnCheré Wilkerson’s book Slow Burn, a timely reflection on the tension of becoming. In these messages, she invites us to lean into the wait, not as a punishment, but as a process of transformation. Because we don’t graduate from waiting. After one prayer is answered, another begins. The “slow burn” is the human experience and the greatest invitation to become intimately familiar with a faithful God.

Over four weeks, we explored what it means to live in the wait:

‍

Week 1: Beauty for Ashes

Waiting isn’t a punishment, it’s a process.

In the collection's opening message, Pastor DawnCheré Wilkerson reminds us that God isn’t delaying to harm us; He’s developing something sacred within us. Like incense rising, our waiting becomes worship. The hidden seasons refine us, salt us, and draw us closer to His heart. Even when it feels like nothing is happening, something holy is being formed. Your wait is not wasted, it’s becoming a fragrance of faith.

‍

Week 2: Turning Point

The breaking point can become your turning point.
Through the life of David, we discovered how God often meets us in our lowest moments. Repentance leads to restoration. And in the middle of our tears, God is writing a redemptive story. Don’t rush the process; let it shape you.

Week 3: Catching Wind

The real breakthrough isn’t what you see, it’s how you see.
Just like eagles ride the wind, we’re invited to soar above the storm. Pastor DawnCheré challenged us to stop striving and start trusting. Waiting on God builds more than strength, it builds spiritual sight. See with faith.

Week 4: Wait and See

The wait isn’t wasted, it’s where legacy is born.
In this return to the message of faithfulness, we’re reminded again: what you do in the waiting creates waves. Every small act of obedience becomes part of something bigger than you.

Whether you're a church leader, pastor, or part of a team navigating a slow season, this collection is for you. Use it to remind your church that delay doesn't mean denial, God is in the waiting.
