Not Just Waiting Podcast
Welcome to the Podcast.
What if your waiting wasn’t wasted?
I’m Reanna Ivey, and each week on the Not Just Waiting Podcast, we’ll talk about how to trust Jesus in the tension, live with purpose right where you are, and find hope in the in-between.
If you’re navigating unanswered prayers, unmet desires, or uncertain seasons—you’re not alone. This podcast is a space for honest conversations, biblical encouragement, and gentle reminders that God is still working.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Let’s stop just waiting—and start living.

Equipping women to trust Jesus and live with purpose in every season.

This week on the Not Just Waiting Podcast, I’m joined by my friend Kaley Rivera Thompson—author, copywriter, Bible teacher, speaker, worship leader, and mom of three girls.
Kaley’s story is full of encouragement for anyone in a waiting season. We talk about:
How structure actually makes room for spontaneity and rest
Why worship became her weapon in a season of struggle
The importance of holding life with open hands before God
Practical rhythms like “Pancake Saturday” that bring peace into busy lives
Kaley shares so vulnerably about walking through seasons of uncertainty, learning to let God reshape her identity, and how waiting doesn’t have to be wasted.

In this episode of the Not Just Waiting Podcast, I’m sharing a deeply personal life update—my recent journey through unexpected endometriosis surgery—and what God has been teaching me in the middle of it. It hasn’t been easy, but Psalm 139 has reminded me that even when my body feels broken, God still calls me fearfully and wonderfully made.
Whether you’re walking through invisible pain, waiting for healing, or simply trying to hold on to hope, this episode will remind you that God sees, knows, and loves all of you—the inside and the outside.

This week on the Not Just Waiting Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Renee Dollenmayer — speaker, coach, and founder of Even If Ministries. Renee’s story is one of courage, faith, and learning to live with open hands in seasons of uncertainty.
Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of two, Renee has experienced both the joys and challenges of disability. Through it all, she’s discovered that God uses every season — even the wilderness — for His glory and our good.
