God Is Patient: Trust His Timing
Series: New Age to Christ with Doreen Virtue
Show Summary
On this week’s New Age to Christ episode, Doreen Virtue reflects on how our fast, microwave culture often trains us to expect instant results, even from God. But Scripture reminds us that the Lord’s timing is intentional and kind. As 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you…” Doreen encourages believers not to mistake God’s patience for absence, but to keep praying, keep trusting, and rest in His sovereignty.
- Theme: God’s patience and our trust
- Key Scriptures: 2 Peter 3:9; Romans 1:16; Proverbs 3:5–6
- Big Idea: God’s timing is perfect, His patience is purposeful, and His promises are sure.

Doreen Virtue holds a Master’s degree in Biblical & Theological Studies with highest honors from Western Seminary (56 units / 2021), and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University. Prior to being saved by God‘s grace and mercy in 2017, Doreen was a psychotherapist specializing in women’s issues, rated in the top 15 most influential living spiritual teachers by Watkins, and the top selling new age author in the world. She was born and raised in new thought churches which she attended for 33 years, before segueing to new age and Wicca in 1991 while touring with a mind-body-spirit conference organization. Before her salvation, Doreen frequently appeared on Oprah, CNN, The View, Coast to Coast and other liberal secular media. After the Holy Spirit convicted her of her sins, while she read Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Doreen repented and gave her life to Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Doreen has been helping professing Christians to identify and avoid new age and new thought deception. Doreen volunteers in discipling women who’ve been saved out of New Age in a private Facebook group. Doreen was a speaker at the Answers in Genesis 2025 women’s conference at the Ark Encounter. She has been featured on American Gospel 3, American Gospel TV, Daily Wire, Moody Radio, Spillover, Christianity Today, Cultish, New York Magazine, Spiritual Counterfeits Project, Servants of Grace, and other Christian media.
