Her story is a testament to the courage it takes to embrace discomfort and confront the deeper issues we often avoid.

  • In this final episode of the *Polished Podcast Summer Mixtape Series*, host Jane Doerman wraps up the summer with a heartfelt discussion on a virtue we all struggle with—patience. Drawing from her personal story of navigating career setbacks during the Great Recession, Jane reflects on how waiting on the Lord is not just about enduring time but about who we become through the process. She unpacks the biblical foundation of patience, highlighting its role as a fruit of the Spirit and a critical component of spiritual maturity.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that while waiting can be difficult, it is in the waiting that God shapes our character, strengthens our faith, and leads us into His perfect timing. As Jane closes out the Summer Mixtape Series, she invites us to reflect on where we need to practice patience and how we can partner with Jesus to grow in this vital spiritual discipline.
