Not Who I Was, Not Yet Where I’m Going, Grace for the Messy Middle

What do you do when you’re not who you used to be, but you’re not yet where God is taking you?

In this episode of Salt and Lightheartedness, we’re talking about grace for the messy middle, those in-between seasons of growth, waiting, healing, and becoming. We discuss what it means to trust God when life feels unclear, how to stop condemning yourself while you’re still growing, and why the wilderness season is not proof that God has abandoned you.

Using Isaiah 43:18–19 NKJV, Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV, and the story of the Israelites in the wilderness, we unpack how God can still be leading you even when the process feels slow, uncomfortable, and frustrating.

In this episode, we talk about:

– what the messy middle really is

– why transition can feel like failure

– how the Israelites complained in the wilderness

– why delay does not mean God has forgotten you

– how to give yourself grace without making excuses

– practical ways to trust God while you’re still in process If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, tired, or uncertain, this conversation is for you.
