Give Me Patience, God – Trusting While You Wait

“I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.” – Psalm 40:1

In today’s heartfelt and relatable episode, Reverend Ben Cooper brings a quiet yet powerful reflection from Psalm 40—a passage that speaks directly into the moments when waiting feels endless, prayers feel unanswered, and hope seems delayed.

"Give Me Patience, God."
It’s more than a plea—it’s a cry of the human heart that so many believers can relate to. Whether you're waiting for breakthrough, healing, restoration, direction, or simply for peace, this message is for you.

In this simple but deeply moving teaching, Ben opens up the tension many Christians face: believing in God's faithfulness while sitting in seasons of silence. The psalmist writes, “He turned to me and heard my cry,” reminding us that God is never deaf to our prayers. But often, our impatience makes us question His presence.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why waiting on God can feel painful, but is always purposeful
• How to posture your heart in seasons of delay
• What Psalm 40 reveals about God's timing and tenderness
• Why Jesus remains faithful, even when we grow weary

Sometimes the waiting room becomes the training ground, preparing our character, deepening our faith, and helping us let go of control. Waiting is not wasted when we’re waiting on the Lord. Through the Scripture and the voice of the Holy Spirit, this message will comfort those feeling overlooked or unheard.

Ben reminds us that Jesus Christ is our deliverer, and even if we don’t see immediate results, His Word will carry us through the storm. He is working behind the scenes. And when the answer finally comes—it will be better, deeper, and more beautiful than we imagined.

If you're whispering, “How long, Lord?” this episode will reassure your heart that He has not forgotten you.

Israel, Prophecy, and the Feast of Trumpets – A Conversation with Reverend Brian Greenaway

We thank you so much for joining us on this powerful and timely episode with Reverend Brian Greenaway of Maoz Ministries. In this thought-provoking conversation, we bring Scripture and current events together, exploring Israel's spiritual landscape, political realities, and the prophetic weight of these times.

From the tensions along Israel’s borders to the growing unease within her cities, this episode takes a closer look at the realities on the ground and how they align with biblical prophecy. As Reverend Greenaway brings his unique insight and passion for Israel, we journey through both ancient Scripture and modern headlines, weaving together God’s eternal promises with the pressing issues facing the Jewish people today.

One of the highlights of this episode is a deep exploration of the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah)—a sacred appointed time that prophetically points to the return of Jesus Christ.

The Feast of Trumpets is more than a historical celebration. It is a prophetic alarm clock for the church. Marked by the blowing of the shofar (ram’s horn), this feast speaks of awakening, repentance, and preparation. It is a divine rehearsal for the second coming of the Messiah, where the trumpet will sound, and the Lord will return for His people (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

💬 Topics covered in this episode:

• The rising tension in Israel and what it means for believers
• The global shift in political alliances surrounding the Middle East
• Why the church must pay attention to biblical feast days
• The spiritual and prophetic depth of the Feast of Trumpets
• How this appointed time calls us to wake up, repent, and prepare
• The connection between ancient Jewish traditions and the end-times calendar

Reverend Greenaway speaks directly to the urgency of the hour. As the shofar sounds and prophecy unfolds, we are reminded that the King is returning. This message is not one of fear, but of hope, alignment, and spiritual preparation.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." – Psalm 147:3

This powerful episode of Christian Straight Talk sees Reverend Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck tackle one of the most vulnerable topics many believers face but few speak about openly: emotional and spiritual scars from the past.

Do past traumas still influence your present choices?
Are there unspoken wounds that continue to hurt in silence?
Do you need healing and freedom from what you’ve buried for years?

In “Scars from the Past,” Ben and Simon take an honest, raw look at how unhealed emotional wounds—from betrayal, abuse, failure, rejection, or regret—can become toxic if left unresolved. When pain is suppressed instead of surrendered to Christ, it begins to fester into bitterness, anger, shame, and spiritual paralysis.

But the Good News is clear: Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted. Psalm 147:3 is not just poetic—it’s a spiritual promise. Christ doesn’t just acknowledge your pain; He meets you in it, binds your wounds, and leads you to a place of freedom, forgiveness, and peace.

Ben and Simon explore questions like:

• What are the dangers of spiritual suppression?
• How do we identify scars we've buried or ignored?
• What does real healing look like according to Scripture?
• How can we allow God into those painful spaces we’ve sealed off?

This is not just another emotional talk—it’s a biblically grounded, Spirit-led conversation aimed at helping you move from survival to healing, from wounding to wholeness.

Whether you’re battling old memories, struggling with identity due to your past, or carrying guilt you’ve never spoken about, this episode will speak directly to your heart. Healing is available. Freedom is possible. But it begins with honesty—and a willingness to bring your scars before the wounded Healer.
