Fresh off an impossible victory, Abram crashes hard with doubt and desperation. "What can You give me?" he asks the God who just called Himself Abram's great reward. Sound familiar? In Genesis 15, we discover that God's answers don't always match our questions—and that waiting on God requires more than just patience. It requires protection. When God asks Abram to bring Him animals and birds of prey start circling, one simple action changes everything about how we should approach our waiting seasons.

1. Why Abram went from hero to heartbroken in one conversation
2. The faith that made Abram righteous in God's eyes (and what that means for us)
3. God's bizarre answer to a straightforward question
4. What those circling birds of prey teach us about our waiting seasons
5. The difference between "not yet" and "no" from God
6. Why God might be asking you to bring Him something you already know how to do

"Birds of prey do not just appear, they take some time to actually find the prey. That means Abram was there for a while. He had to wait on God's timing. He had to protect what God asked of him."
