The tension of the unknown can feel heavy. Waiting tests our faith. It stirs doubts. It can make us question God’s timing. But what if waiting isn’t wasted? What if it’s the very space where God does His deepest work? Today, I want to talk about what it really looks like to trust the process—not just conceptually, but in the middle of real life. Whether you’re waiting for healing, direction, provision, or peace, there are four postures that have helped me stay grounded in the wait.   1. Position Yourself with Expectancy   Habakkuk said, “I will climb to my watchtower and wait to see what the Lord says” (Habakkuk 2:1). He intentionally pulled away from the noise and made space to listen. That’s what positioning ourselves looks like—it’s setting our hearts in expectancy, even when everything feels silent. Just like Zacchaeus climbing a tree to see Jesus, sometimes faith means doing the small, intentional thing to prepare for a big encounter. “Just as a seed takes time to break

Even in the Silence, He Is There (As featured on (in)courage)

Molinda Hern May 3, 2025

The world didn’t stop. It kept turning, kept moving forward, as though nothing had changed. But for me, everything had. I remember stepping outside that tragic morning, my heart shattered beyond words. My neighbor stood in his yard, watering his flowers, exclaiming about what a beautiful June day it was. I could barely comprehend his words. How could anything be beautiful in this moment? My voice came out flat, almost detached from the reality crashing around me:“Well, my son just died, so I don’t know how beautiful a day it is.” Grief has a way of making everything around you feel distant, like you’re watching life from behind a thick pane of glass. You see it, but you’re not part of it. You exist in a different space—one that is heavy with sorrow and filled with deafening silence. Had God forgotten me? I had always believed in His presence, but grief has a way of testing even the deepest faith. If God was with me, why did I feel so alone? Why did my prayers seem to go unanswered? And how was I even supposed to pray in this kind of pain? What does one say to the Almighty when

I Choose Today to Trust the Power of the In-Between The Ordinary Series – Part 6

Molinda Hern April 22, 2025

As believers, when it comes to Easter, we focus on Good Friday, when Jesus died for the sins of the world, and Easter Sunday, when He rose from the grave to defeat death once and for all. Both of these days deserve every ounce of our awe and celebration. They are the visible markers of love and victory—the cross where the price was paid and the empty tomb where death was disarmed. But what about the day in-between? What about Saturday? That ordinary, quiet, grief-stricken day between the heartbreak and the miracle. The day when heaven seemed silent and hope felt buried. The day most of us skip over… but shouldn’t. Because even though it looked like nothing was happening, everything was already in motion. Scripture gives us a glimpse behind the veil: “He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive, He went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits…” —1 Peter 3:18–19 Jesus didn’t wait for Sunday to start moving. He didn’t rest in death. He descended into the very den of death itself—and declared victory. To the author of death. To the powers of darkness. To the realm

Podcast Episode 4: I Choose Today to Walk Toward Healing

They come from the sacred places of personal experience—the moments you didn’t think you’d survive but somehow did. That’s what this one is. In this episode of I Choose Today, I’m sharing a very personal part of my healing journey. A moment that changed me. A moment that brought me to the end of myself—and to the feet of Jesus. After the loss of my son to SIDS, I was broken in ways I didn’t yet understand. I was functioning, showing up, caring for my two-year-old daughter—but I wasn’t present. I was numb. Surviving. Until one ordinary afternoon when I completely broke. In the aftermath of an emotional outburst, I found myself sobbing on the edge of a bathtub, whispering the words, “Lord, help.” That moment became the start of something. It was the whisper that began a healing journey—a moment of raw surrender that cracked open the numbness and let Jesus in. Painful. But holy. This episode is for the ones still carrying pain. The ones who have walked through abuse, betrayal, loss, abandonment, rejection. It’s

I Choose Today to Stand in Victory

Molinda Hern April 12, 2025

I knew stepping into obedience would cost something—but I didn’t expect the resistance to feel this fierce. Launching a podcast wasn’t just a creative step. It was a Kingdom step. And from the moment I said yes, I could feel the enemy trying to say no.  As I got closer to the launch date, the resistance intensified. Mere hours before everything was set to go live, I found myself sick, discouraged, and overwhelmed. Everything felt like it was falling apart—and honestly, I wondered if I’d even make it to release day. The attacks didn’t come all at once or with flashing lights. Some of them were subtle. Some came in the form of discouragement, self-doubt, or constant tech issues that made me want to quit before I even started. Others came as spiritual heaviness or emotional overwhelming moments that didn’t make sense until I looked deeper. Spiritual warfare is real. We often expect it to look like a scene from a movie, but more often than not, it’s in the weariness that won’t lift, the fear that creeps in after you’ve taken a bold step, or the doubt that whispers, “You’re not equipped for this.” But Scripture reminds us:  “For
