## Resource

In this episode of Between Sermons, we unpack a powerful truth many of us don’t like to hear: God often develops you in private before He ever promotes you in public. As we continue walking through Luke, this conversation explores identity, calling, obedience, and the wilderness seasons that shape our character long before anyone applauds it. From wrestling with comparison and visibility to understanding why hidden growth matters, the team reflects on how spiritual maturity is formed in quiet places—not spotlight moments. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, delayed, or unsure about what God is doing in your life, this episode will remind you that preparation is never punishment. God builds depth before He gives influence, and private faithfulness is what sustains public impact.
