Have you been praying for years — and nothing has changed? This episode is for the woman losing hope. Kirby Kelly lost her dad at 10, survived her mother's addiction, and came out with one conviction: God was there the whole time. This will change how you see your season.

In this episode:

• Why God redeems in the middle — not just at the end
• "God, can this be over?" vs. "God, what are you doing right now?"
• Why some things break off with obedience — not just prayer
• Free will, surrender, and letting God actually be God
• Stop making yourself the main character
• What to do when God's timeline isn't yours
• Hope from knowing God's character, not just His promises
