Tea Time with tahirah podcast

In this episode of Teatime, Tahirah invites you to slow down and let go of the pressure of comparison, timelines, and “being behind.” Together, we reflect on what it means to trust God’s timing in a world that glorifies speed and instant results. Through Scripture and storytelling, this episode explores how waiting is not weakness—but preparation. Drawing from powerful biblical examples, including Job, Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, Mary, the woman with the issue of blood, the father of the demon-possessed son, and even Jesus Himself, we’re reminded that God often does His deepest work in seasons of delay. If you’ve ever felt rushed, overlooked, or tempted to compare your journey to others, this conversation is an invitation to breathe, rest, and trust that you are not late—you are being steeped. Grab your tea, open your heart, and let God remind you that everything becomes beautiful in its time.

☕ Brewing Belief: I am not behind. I am being prepared.

Takeaways:

"Life has been happening and this is a judgment free zone.""Some things need time to develop their full flavor.""Waiting is not weakness, waiting is trusting.""The rush often comes from comparison.""We serve a God that loves us enough that he's going to say, mm-mm, baby girl, not yet.""Slow down, okay, slow down.""When we start rushing God, that's when we walk into some traps.""Trust and believe my Lord, the Savior Jesus Christ, His time is not my time.""Blessed are the hurried? Yeah, let's say that nowhere.""You need to check in with God and what his will for your life is before you start to rush things."
