We’ve all been there — the job that vanished, the relationship that ended, the dream that suddenly crumbled. It’s easy to label those moments as failure, but what if they were never detours at all… just divine rerouting? In this powerful episode, Ginine Emily Smith and Laurie Hardie unpack what it means to trust God’s timing when life doesn’t go according to plan.

Laurie shares a deeply personal story of a door that slammed shut and how that heartbreak led her into a life of deeper faith, new opportunity, and renewed purpose. Together, they explore the delicate dance between surrender and action, between holding on and letting go.

If you’re walking through uncertainty, feeling stuck in “why,” or questioning your next step, this conversation will remind you that every delay, detour, and disappointment might just be God whispering, “I’ve got something better.”

Be afraid and do it anyway!

Give yourself permission to grow without guilt, rest without shame, and rise without apology. You’ll walk away reminded that grace isn’t weakness — it’s the ultimate power move.
