In this episode of Second Wind, Brandon Brown shares what to do when life doesn’t go the way you expected.

Disappointment can leave you questioning where God is and what He’s doing. But Psalm 34:18 reminds us that “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” God doesn’t avoid the ache; He meets us in it.

Brandon reflects on the road to Emmaus, where Jesus walked with two disappointed disciples who didn’t recognize Him at first. In the same way, God walks with us through our own unmet expectations, offering clarity in confusion and presence in pain.

If you’ve been waiting, hurting, or wondering how to move forward, this episode will help you stay honest, open, and faithful, knowing that disappointment doesn’t disqualify you. It’s often where God begins to rebuild what’s next.
