Episode 193 - What Do You Do When Life Didn't Go the Way You Prayed?


Listen Later

What do you do when you prayed, believed, and showed up faithfully…
and life still didn’t unfold the way you hoped?In this episode, I speak to the quiet disappointment many leaders carry but rarely say out loud. Not rebellion. Not unbelief. Just the ache that forms when expectations don’t land, and faith begins to feel heavier than it used to.


This conversation explores:
• Why disappointment with God often goes unspoken, especially for leaders
• The silent shift that happens when trust and intimacy feel strained
• What Abraham’s 25-year wait reveals about vision before evidence
• Why delay doesn’t mean you missed God
• How preparing your heart, not controlling outcomes, restores peaceIf you’ve ever felt:
• Faithful but tired
• Still serving, yet internally strained
• Hesitant to hope again
• Unsure how to trust God after disappointmentThis episode is for you.
