Welcome to this episode of the Daily Bible Refresh with Dr. Brad Miller, where today's session offers a progressive perspective on Second Peter 3:1-10. Dr. Brad explores the concept of God's timing, emphasizing that divine delay is an act of mercy and an opportunity for meaningful change in our lives and communities. Through reflection, actionable steps, and heartfelt prayer, he urges listeners to channel hope into ethical action—addressing justice, accessibility, and practical support—while guarding their attention against cynicism and despair. The episode is a call to reimagine waiting as room for repair and to cultivate compassionate, inclusive communities guided by faith, hope, and kindness.

Key Takeaways:

1. God's delay is not neglect, but mercy—granting us time to become better, more compassionate communities.
2. Waiting should be reframed as an opportunity for justice, repair, and active love, rather than passive endurance.
3. Hope is presented as an ethical force that shapes real-world outcomes, encouraging listeners to remove barriers and promote public good.
4. Guarding attention against cynicism is crucial, and messages should be tested by their ability to reduce harm and support the vulnerable.
5. Practical action is encouraged, including volunteering, providing mutual aid, checking on isolated individuals, and advocating for fair policies.
6. Faith is not only a private conviction but a call to shared peace, accessibility, and the creation of equitable spaces in our communities.
