Trusting God After Disappointment


Listen Later

In today’s deeply personal episode, Tatum steps away from her usual teaching to share a raw and unfiltered story from her recent postpartum journey. After believing she heard clearly from God that she would have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), Tatum walks us through the heartbreak, confusion, and emotional toll of experiencing an outcome that looked very different from what she believed God promised.

This episode isn’t tied up in a bow. It’s a real-time reflection on what it means to be holy and human—to love God deeply, but also feel hurt, to trust Him fully, and still ask “Why?”

If you've ever:

  • Felt sure you heard from God but the result didn’t match,
  • Struggled with disappointment while trying to remain faithful,
  • Wrestled with postpartum emotions, trauma, or spiritual confusion,
  • Needed language for navigating your feelings while staying close to God...

This episode is for you.

Tatum reminds us that even in our confusion, God is still near, and we can give Him our broken hearts to heal—even before the revelation comes.

Key Takeaways:
  • How to process disappointment with God without pulling away from Him
  • Why your feelings are valid and don’t disqualify your faith
  • The enemy’s strategy to use spiritual vulnerability for warfare
  • How to stay committed even when you don’t have clarity
  • The beauty of surrendering your heart before the “aha moment” comes

Scriptures Mentioned:
  • Job 13:15 – “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
  • Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted…”
  • Isaiah 55:8–9 – “My thoughts are not your thoughts…”
  • Proverbs 3:5 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”
  • John 11 (Martha & Lazarus – the tension of faith and grief)

Share This Episode With:
  • A woman navigating postpartum emotions or birth trauma
  • Anyone who feels disappointed by God or let down by an outcome
  • A friend who needs a reminder that God can handle her questions and still be trusted
