God Is in the Waiting Room | Ebika Mark on 10 Years, 5 Miscarriages & God's Timing | Wellness Wahala Book Club

DESCRIPTION

Welcome to the Wellness Wahala Book Club Series, where we spotlight great authors from Africa and the Diaspora.

In this episode, Dr. Tomi Mercy Ademokun sits down with Mrs. Ebika Mark — banker, ministry leader, wife and mother — author of the debut book God Is in the Waiting Room (With You): For People Navigating Delay, Uncertainty, and God's Timing.

Over ten years, Ebika walked through ovarian cysts, hormonal imbalances, blocked fallopian tubes, five miscarriages and a failed IVF cycle — all while serving in her church's children's ministry and building a career in banking. This conversation is that testimony, and the teaching that came out of it.
