73 | Anchored in the Waiting with | Lisa Shaull

Dr. Brooks Demming Season 8 Episode 6

What if the detour is the exact road to your destiny? That’s the question we wrestle with as minister and coach Lisa Shaull shares how infertility, fostering, and adopting three special needs children shaped a resilient, surrendered faith—and a calling to help women live anchored in truth. We explore the raw middle of waiting: the grief, the therapy, the church hurt, and the decision to keep showing up with Scripture on your tongue and hope in your hands. Lisa breaks down her anchored abiding and soul recalibration practices, showing how to catch lies, speak truth out loud, and journal until the Holy Spirit’s voice meets you on the page.

You’ll hear how a “temporary” placement became a forever family, how radical obedience works when God’s instructions don’t make sense, and how to build resilience without pretending life isn’t messy. We dig into David’s prayers, Abraham’s long wait, and Paul’s battle plan in Ephesians as a framework for real-world spiritual warfare. If your faith feels tired, Lisa offers simple steps: choose a verse for your season, declare it daily, and embrace small, courageous acts of obedience that move you forward even when clarity lags behind.

For those new to faith or ready to return, Lisa shares the ABCs of salvation and practical starting points in John and Ephesians. For parents, caregivers, and leaders, she casts a vision of legacy—doing your work as unto the Lord, modeling prayer in the “yucky,” and letting children see your faith hold when life shakes. Come for the story of adoption and resilience; stay for the tools that will reset your mind, strengthen your spirit, and reawaken your purpose.
