Have you ever prayed for something, worked hard for it, and still faced rejection, closed doors, or delays? In this Real Raw & Uncut episode, Justin and Joy dive into what it really means when God says “wait.” They talk honestly about seasons of disappointment, unanswered prayers, and moments when life doesn’t go according to plan. Through biblical examples such as Joseph’s journey from rejection to leadership and Abraham's waiting years for God’s promise, they unpack why delays aren’t always denial. Sometimes the doors that close are actually guiding us toward something better than we imagined, because what feels like rejection today could be the very thing positioning you for your future. Timestamps 4:30 - Rejection is Protection 11:45 - The Story of Joseph: How God Uses Rejection to Position You 13:10 - Why Waiting Develops Your Character and Faith
