Checking the Board: A First-Quarter Reflection on Faith, Patience, and Trusting the Process

In this episode of Taking It Off-Topic, my guest, Akosia Robinson (CEO, Legacy Minded Parenting), and I pause to reflect on the first quarter of the year through a faith-filled lens. At the beginning of the year, we created a “bingo board”—a visual and intentional way to capture what we felt God placed on our hearts, trusting God to move in throughout the year.
Now, a few months in, we revisit that board and have an honest conversation about what’s unfolding, what’s still in progress, and what may not look the way we expected. We talk about alignment, patience, and what it means to trust God’s timing—even when it doesn’t match our own.
This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t always linear, and faith isn’t always about immediate results. It’s about staying anchored, remaining open, and recognizing the small (and big) ways God is working—even when it’s unexpected.
