When You Feel Behind in Life

Why God Isn’t Finished With You Yet

Have you ever looked around and felt like everyone else is moving faster than you

If so, this episode of Grow Together with Jordan Sellers is going to speak straight to your heart.

We’re talking about a feeling almost every person struggles with but rarely admits

the feeling of being behind. 

Behind in life

Behind in purpose

Behind in relationships

Behind in success

Behind in who you imagined you’d be by now

And if that’s where you are today, take a breath. You are not behind. You’re human. And God is working in ways you cannot see yet.

What This Episode Covers

In this conversation, I open up about the seasons in my own life where I battled this same feeling.

Times when:

• I thought I had missed my moment 

• I felt like God was quiet 

• I watched everyone else succeed while I felt stuck 

• I replayed “what I should have done” instead of trusting God’s timing 

• Social media made my slow season feel like failure 

If you’ve been there, you are in good company.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

 • Why comparison is one of the biggest thieves of joy 

• How false timelines distort your understanding of progress 

• Why “behind” is an emotion, not a biblical reality 

• How God protects and redirects you without you realizing it 

• What lies we believe about ourselves when life feels slow 

• How to stay encouraged when the results aren’t showing up yet 

• Why your slow season is not a setback but a shaping season 

Scriptures We Walk Through Together:

Psalm 37 verse 23 

“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” 

Isaiah 60 verse 22 

“At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.” 

Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” 

Galatians 6 verse 9 

“At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” 

These verses bring so much comfort when life feels slow, delayed, or confusing.

The Truth I Want You to Leave With

At the end of the episode, I speak this over you

and I mean every word:

“Your slow season is not a setback. It is shaping you.” 

Let that settle in your spirit.

Your waiting isn’t wasted.

Your delay isn’t denial.

Your steps are ordered.

Your season is intentional.

God has you right where He can grow you.

I Also Take a Moment to Pray Over You

I pray for:

• clarity 

• encouragement 

• fresh hope 

• renewed strength 

• and the blessing of God over the work of your hands 

My intention is that you don’t leave this episode just inspired…

but lighter, stronger, and more anchored in truth.
