Episode 65

Waiting on God’s Timing: My Story of Faith, Provision & Trust in Hard Seasons | Steve Campbell

This brand new episode is a little different. It's been three months since I've recorded an episode and I felt the need to share my story and what God's done. There’s no guest joining me today—just me, speaking directly to you from the heart.

Over the last few months, my family and I walked through one of the hardest and most humbling seasons of our lives. After stepping away from a career I thought would be my long-term security, I found myself in a place of uncertainty, no paycheck, closed doors, and more questions than answers.

What followed was a season where God taught me how to truly wait on Him… not just say I trusted Him, but actually trust Him when I couldn’t see the outcome. He stripped away pride, fear, identity in work, and the need to control everything—and showed me what real provision looks like.

In this episode, I’m opening up about the internal battles I faced, the moments I wanted to quit, and the unexpected ways God showed up for our family right on time. I’m also sharing how this season changed my faith, my perspective, and my understanding of what it means to surrender.

If you’re in a waiting season right now… if doors have closed… if life feels uncertain… I hope my story reminds you that God has not forgotten you.

My One Big Thing: Sometimes God delays what we want so He can develop who we’re becoming.

🎙️ In this episode, I share:

  • What happened when I stepped away from my career
  • The struggle of waiting when nothing makes sense
  • How God provided in ways I never expected
  • Why suffering can produce deeper faith
  • Letting go of control and trusting God’s timing
  • What I learned about identity beyond success

This is one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded, and I’m grateful you’re here to listen.

Hey there — I’m Steve Campbell. I’m a husband, dad to four amazing kids, follower of Jesus, and someone who wakes up every day wanting to help people live with more clarity, courage, and purpose.

Life has taught me that faith isn’t just something you talk about — it’s something you live, wrestle with, and anchor everything to. My relationship with Jesus shapes how I love my family, how I lead, how I speak, and how I show up for others. Every podcast, conversation, and connection I make starts there — from a place of grace, humility, and hope.

My Heart Behind The One Big Thing
I started The One Big Thing podcast because I believe each of us is created on purpose and for a purpose. We all carry something unique that can make a difference — not someday, but right now. Through the stories, lessons, and conversations on the podcast, my prayer is that you’ll discover the spark God placed in you and feel encouraged to take your next faithful step.

I don’t have all the answers — but I’ve learned that when you stay close to Jesus, stay curious, and keep moving forward, amazing things can unfold.

Beyond the Mic
At home, I’m just “Dad.” My wife and our four kids are my greatest joy and daily reminder of what really matters. They keep me grounded, laughing, and trusting God in the middle of the chaos and beauty of everyday life.

I’m passionate about encouraging others — whether through a podcast episode, a post, or a conversation over coffee. I believe that hope is contagious and that small, honest moments can change lives.

What You’ll Find Here
This space is about real stories, faith filled encouragement, and practical wisdom for life and leadership. My hope is that you don’t just listen — you feel seen, challenged, and reminded that you’re not alone.

If you’ve landed here, maybe it’s not by accident. Maybe God’s nudging you toward your next “one big thing.” I’m glad you’re here — let’s walk it out together.
