A Note From Jenn
The truth is an invitation for liberation, but only when your cell of lies is no longer your comfort.
Much of my life has been shaped by a pursuit of justice and truth, not for the sake of being right, but to build up God’s people. I have learned that truth, when handled without wisdom, can bruise instead of heal. And truth, when received without humility, can become a burden rather than a breakthrough.

The Briefing
Two lessons that continued to surface, again and again.
The truth only sets free those who are willing to hold it.
For those who are not ready to see themselves fully, truth is rarely experienced as freedom. It feels like exposure. Like judgment. Like threat. Not because the truth is wrong, but because the heart has not yet made peace with surrender.
And your feelings are not always valid, but they are often justified. (There is a difference)
Feelings signal that something is happening. They do not automatically authorize action, interpretation, or conclusion. Left unchecked, they can masquerade as discernment. Submitted to God, they become information, not instruction.
Jesus understood this tension well. He answered questions without always offering explanations. He spoke in parables. He withheld clarity. He walked away. He remained silent. This was not avoidance. It was discernment. He never confused being sent with being received.
Truth is holy. But it is also heavy.
And learning when to release people back to God after speaking is as much a discipline as knowing when to speak at all.
Waiting is not only about timing the truth.
Sometimes it is about trusting God with what happens after it is spoken.
The Wait is the Hardest Part
TODAY’S FORM CHECK
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Matthew 13:15
For this people’s heart has grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, so that I should heal them.
These passages remind me that truth is not coercive. It does not force liberation. It invites it. Freedom begins when the heart is willing to release the comfort of deception and bear the weight of clarity.
Reflection Questions for Your Own Wait Room
Where have you asked God for truth, but resisted what it required of you?
What truths have you sought intellectually but avoided receiving spiritually?
In what areas have your feelings been loud, but not trustworthy as guides?
Where might discernment be calling you to silence instead of explanation?
What would it look like to release people back to God after speaking in obedience?
A Simple Prayer
Father,
Give me a heart that can hold truth without hardening.
Teach me to discern when to speak and when to stay silent.
Heal the places where my feelings have led instead of followed You.
Help me steward truth with humility, restraint, and courage.
And give me peace when obedience does not produce visible change.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Feeling the Pressure Yet? Here’s our encouragement:
When we come to Christ we have a burden that should be carried with the utmost elegance and grace. It’s not a burden to be carried alone but rather with a community of responsible believers.
If you’re locking in, bring someone with you!
Forward this. Share the link. Invite them into the tension—into the place where waiting for God becomes training with Him. We carry light, but we carry well. Let’s build this together.
You’re not broken. You’re not too late. You’re being conditioned by the call.
And pressure? That’s just a setup for power.
