What do you do when life feels overwhelming, prayers go unanswered, or God seems silent? In this conversation with Niki Hardy, author of God Can We Chat?, we talk about bringing raw questions and doubts to God, and why honest wrestling with Him can actually strengthen, not weaken, our faith. You’ll discover how to separate hurt from God and hurt from the church, and how remembering His presence can give you the courage to keep walking through mystery, pain, and uncertainty.
