What happens when God says, “It's time to move”?

Waiting requires patience. Moving requires courage. And sometimes, the hardest part of following God's calling is knowing when to stop waiting and start walking.

In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, we sit down with Tai Anderson, founding bassist of Third Day and author of Market Like A Rockstar, for a powerful conversation about faith, timing, leadership, music, and stepping into God's purpose.

Tai shares what he's learned about trusting God's timing, embracing change, and using your gifts to serve others.

We explore how waiting seasons prepare us for what's next, why community matters, how to recognize when it's time to take action, and what it means to build a legacy that lasts.

And we've got plenty of dad jokes, a guest roast specifically designed for a bass player.

Sometimes God prepares you in the waiting so you'll be ready when it's time to move.

🌱 WHAT IF GOD ISN'T SAYING NO… HE'S SAYING NOT YET?

You've been praying. You've been working. You've been doing everything you believe God has called you to do.

But nothing seems to be happening.

What if the waiting season isn't wasted time? What if God is developing something beneath the surface that you can't see yet?

In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, host Nick Sash sits down with Aaron Blain, host of Aaron Asks America, for an honest, encouraging, and sometimes hilarious conversation.

Nick and Aaron explore what it means to wait with purpose instead of sitting in frustration.

Because sometimes, before God grows the harvest, He has to grow the roots.

📖 KEY SCRIPTURE — GALATIANS 6:9

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE

- Why waiting is an active expression of faith.

- How God can use delays to develop character and prepare us for what's next.

What if the pressure you’re under isn’t punishment—but preparation?

What if the waiting season isn’t wasted time?

And what if God is doing some of His greatest work in your life before you can even see the finished product?

In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, Nick Sash sits down with author Andrew Gantt for “God’s Kitchen Confidential”—a conversation about trusting God’s timing, surrendering to His process, and allowing Him to use pressure, waiting, failure, and obedience to prepare us for greater purpose.

Using the kitchen as a powerful picture of the Christian life, Andrew and Nick talk about what happens when we stop trying to control the recipe and start trusting the Chef.

Sometimes we see ingredients that don’t make sense.

God sees the finished meal.

We see pressure.

God sees preparation.

We see waiting.

God sees something that isn’t ready yet.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE

• Trusting God’s timing and process

• Surrender, submission, and obedience

• Why pressure can be part of God’s preparation

• Learning patience when God is “slow cooking” something

• Purity, seasoning, and spiritual influence

• What it means to be salt and light

• The church as a place of hospitality

• Leading your family by example

• Moving beyond fear and failure

• Trusting God when you can’t see the finished product

💬 KEY TAKEAWAYS

God’s timing is perfect, even when we don’t understand it.

Pressure and waiting can be part of God’s preparation.

Failure doesn’t mean God is finished with you.

Humility and obedience create room for God to work.

Authentic faith is demonstrated through how we live.

Every season has a purpose in God’s kitchen.

And sometimes faith simply means:

Trust the Chef and say YES to the recipe.
