FamilyLife Today® on Oneplace.com

You prayed. You said yes. You took the scary step. Shouldn’t something be happening by now? How do you trust God’s timing when your plans are packed and God apparently isn't going to hurry. Trevor and Tanya Kravick join FamilyLife Today guest host Cheryl Shumake to discuss six years of waiting, a lost job, open-heart surgery, and a calling that refused to follow their calendar.

Mortgage. Meetings. Four kids in Pull-Ups. Where exactly does “mission” fit in? Trevor and Tanya Kravick say marriage on mission doesn’t require an extraordinary life. They join FamilyLife Today guest host Cheryl Shumake to explore what God might already be doing in the middle of your ordinary chaos—and why your marriage may be about something much bigger than the two of you.

This was not the plan. Not the diagnosis, not the heartbreak, not the prayer apparently sitting in God’s inbox. So what does trusting God in suffering actually look like? Grammy-winning artist Laura Story, author of Stand in Awe, joins FamilyLife Today guest host Cheryl Shumake to talk honestly about unwanted stories, unanswered prayers, and believing God is good when you’d really prefer some supporting evidence.

Your Bible’s under yesterday’s mail. Your coffee’s cold. Your thumb somehow opened Instagram again. How do you grow closer to God when your attention is being mugged by notifications, deadlines, kids, and plain old exhaustion? Grammy-winning artist Laura Story, author of Stand in Awe, joins FamilyLife Today guest host Cheryl Shumake to chat about moving beyond a shallow faith—and building one sturdy enough for ordinary Tuesdays when life hits hard and tries to elbow God out of the way.

Three songs. Maybe raised hands. Done worshiping for the week? Not so fast. How do you worship God when Monday hits—and life looks nothing like you ordered? Grammy-winning artist Laura Story, author of Stand in Awe, joins FamilyLife Today guest host Cheryl Shumake to talk about worship when God doesn’t follow our script, faith gets a little too me-focused, and “reverence” sounds suspiciously like a word your grandmother used.

Dirty diapers. Full trash cans. That argument neither of you is quite over. Turns out you said “I do,” not “I’ll never get on your nerves again.” So how do you love your spouse when it’s hard—when you’re hurt, misunderstood, halfway into your emotional turtle shell—and neither of you feels all that lovable? Quina Aragon, author of Love Has a Story, and her husband Jon unpack what God’s enduring love has to do with ordinary marriage when the warm fuzzies have left the building.

Yeah, the Bible says God loves you. But maybe you wonder, Does God love me—here, in the plot twist I definitely didn't order? Jon and Quina Aragon, authors of Love Has a Story, get candid about suffering, doubt, old wounds, and learning to trust God’s love when life makes a credible argument otherwise. When you're tired of easy answers to hard questions, listen in here.

You joined a family hoping to love your stepkids well. But what if they don’t exactly love you back? Cheryl Shumake, author of Waiting to Be Wanted, gets painfully practical about how to be a good stepparent without auditioning for acceptance—and maybe when those kids don't love you back. How do you stop competing for your place, love without keeping score, and know what’s actually yours to do when the blended-family dream gets decidedly less dreamy?

Your marriage ended. But your anger, betrayal, and hurt didn’t get the memo. Cheryl Shumake joins Dave and Ann Wilson to talk honestly about forgiveness after divorce—what it means, what it doesn’t, and why refusing to release the debt can keep old wounds alive. Is forgiveness possible when what happened was genuinely wrong? And how do you move forward without pretending the wreckage never happened?

Got questions about Christianity you’re almost afraid to say out loud? Doubting your faith can feel especially lonely when everyone at church seems so stinkin' certain. Brant Hansen, author of Blessed Are the Misfits, joins Dave and Ann Wilson for an unpolished conversation about skepticism, introverts, uncomfortable questions, and belonging when you don’t fit the Christian mold. Because stuffing your doubts isn’t exactly making them disappear.
