What do you do when everything keeps falling apart—and God seems silent?
In this deeply honest conversation, counselor Stacy Echeverria takes us into her eight-year valley of job losses and financial devastation. This isn't a story about instant breakthrough or prosperity gospel platitudes. It's about wrestling with God while refusing to let Him go, discovering grit you didn't know you had, and finding that sometimes the longest winters produce the deepest healing.
Stacy shares how anger at God coexisted with unwavering faith, how tithing became an act of radical trust, and how financial loss ultimately healed wounds around scarcity she didn't even know needed healing. Her story offers hope for anyone in their own season of waiting, wondering if a breakthrough will ever come.
In This Episode, You'll Hear:
- What it's like to wake up every morning for eight years as everything keeps falling apart

- How tithing became an act of radical trust that unlocked supernatural provision that defies logic
- The difference between year two and year eight of waiting: how she kept putting one foot in front of the other
- How getting fired in 2020 proved she'd been fundamentally transformed—no panic, only peace
- Practical wisdom for anyone in their own financial valley right now
Key Takeaways:
"You may not see where you're going, but trust God. He will never lead you toward anything that would harm you. He loves you."
"I needed to trust God completely, and step out in obedience to Him and trust He would always work it out. I don't need to help God."
"Faith was #1. I knew that I could feel everything I was feeling about what I thought God was allowing to happen, but there was no way I was going to give up on Him and His promises."
