Sometimes the very thing that breaks your heart is the thing that saves your life.

In this week’s Unleashed Podcast, Brent and Kevin talk about disappointment—what happens when our plans collapse, when we let others down, and when God seems silent. But what if those very moments are where God is protecting, redirecting, and reshaping us?

Brent shares the story of missing this year’s elk hunt—a trip he’d trained months for and deeply looked forward to. It felt like another painful loss in a long year of setbacks. But after meeting with his doctor, he learned the truth: if he had gone on that hunt, carrying a heavy pack at 10,000 feet, he would have had a heart attack. Not “might have.” His doctor said emphatically, “Brent, you would have.”

What looked like disappointment was actually divine protection. It wasn’t punishment. It was grace.

Together, Brent and Kevin talk about how God works even in the pain—how the plans we lose often reveal the life He’s saving, the faith He’s refining, and the peace He’s preparing.
