Episode 38: God... Where Were You?

Finding God After the Worst Day of Your Life

There are moments that divide your life into two chapters...

Before that day. And after that day. The diagnosis. The phone call. The loss. The betrayal.

The goodbye you weren't ready to say.

You prayed. You believed. You begged God to intervene.

And when everything still fell apart, one question remained:

"God... where were You?"

In Episode 38 of Girls Can Pray Too, Misty and Kara sit down for an honest conversation about one of the hardest questions a Christian can face: Where is God when life hurts—and what do we do when the miracle we prayed for doesn't happen?

Through the stories of Lazarus, Job, Joseph, and David, we'll open God's Word and discover that faith doesn't require us to pretend we aren't hurting. We can bring our grief, questions, anger, and confusion straight to Jesus.

Because sometimes we won't understand why.

But even when God feels silent...

He is not absent.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

✨ What to do when God doesn't answer the way you prayed

✨ Why honest questions don't disqualify your faith

✨ What "Jesus wept" reveals about God's heart toward our suffering

✨ How God can redeem evil without calling evil good

✨ Finding God's presence when you're walking through the valley

✨ Trusting His heart when you don't understand His plan

✨ How Jesus understands suffering firsthand

Friend, if you've ever looked toward heaven through tears and whispered...

"God... where were You?"

This episode is for you.

You don't need all the answers today.

You don't have to pretend you're okay.

Just take one more step with Jesus.

Your grief is real. Your questions are real. And His presence is real too.

"Silence doesn't mean absence. God wasn't absent... even when He felt silent."

Episode 37: Can I Come Back?

When You Think You've Gone Too Far

Have you ever wondered if you've gone too far for God to forgive you? Maybe you've walked away from your faith, made choices you never thought you would, or carry shame that whispers, "God could never want me back."

In this episode, Misty and Kara explore one of the greatest truths in Scripture: God never stops inviting His children home. Through biblical examples of redemption, grace, and restoration, you'll discover that no failure is greater than God's mercy and no distance is too far for His love to reach.

If you've been asking, "Can I really come back?" this conversation is for you.

No matter your past, your story isn't over—because Jesus is still calling your name.

Scriptures discussed: Luke 15, Romans 8:1, 1 John 1:9, Isaiah 1:18, and more.

🎙️ Episode 35: Did the Church Block You???👀

When the People Who Represented Jesus Wounded You

Have you ever been hurt by someone who claimed to follow Jesus?

Maybe it was a pastor. A church leader. A close friend. Or someone you trusted who made you question whether you even wanted to go back to church.

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "How do I keep following Jesus when His people have hurt me?"—this conversation is for you.

In this honest and hope-filled episode, Kara and Misty tackle one of the deepest wounds many believers carry: church hurt. Together, they explore what God's Word says about betrayal, forgiveness, healing, and why the failures of people should never become the reason we walk away from the Savior who never fails.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✨ Why church hurt cuts so deeply. ✨ How Jesus understands betrayal firsthand. ✨ The difference between trusting Jesus and trusting imperfect people. ✨ How forgiveness and healthy boundaries can coexist. ✨ Why your calling is still alive, even after disappointment. ✨ How God can heal wounds you thought would never heal.

If you've been carrying pain caused by the church, we pray this conversation reminds you that your story isn't over. Jesus still sees you, still loves you, and still has a purpose for your life.

People may have wounded your heart, but they don't get to write your future—Jesus does.

Episode 36: That's Not My Name!

When the People Who Represented Jesus Wounded You

What happens when the words spoken over you don't match what God says about you?

Church hurt has a way of giving us names we were never meant to carry—rejected, broken, unworthy, forgotten. But those labels were never your identity.

In this episode, Misty and Kara talk honestly about the pain of being hurt by people in the church, how to find healing without losing your faith, and why God's calling on your life is still intact. You'll discover how to let go of false labels, embrace your true identity in Christ, and remember that what people called you is not who God created you to be.

Because your identity isn't found in your wounds—it's found in the One who calls you His.

Episode 34: Have you ever prayed with all your heart... and still felt like heaven was silent?

Maybe you've prayed for healing that never came. A marriage that still fell apart. A child who walked away from God. Or a breakthrough you've been waiting on for years.

If you've ever wondered, "God... did You even hear me?"—this conversation is for you.

In this heartfelt episode, Kara and Misty explore one of the hardest questions every believer faces: What do we do when God doesn't answer our prayers the way we hoped?

Together, we'll discover: ✨ Why God's silence doesn't mean He's absent. ✨ What Jesus, Paul, Habakkuk, and Lazarus teach us about trusting God through seasons of waiting. ✨ How to keep praying when you're discouraged. ✨ Why God's delays are not always His denials. ✨ How to find peace even when you don't understand God's plan.

If you're carrying an unanswered prayer, we pray this conversation reminds you that God hears every tear, every whispered prayer, and every cry of your heart.

Because sometimes the greatest miracle isn't the answer we wanted... it's discovering that God never left us while we waited.

💕 Episode Quote: "God's silence is not proof that He isn't listening. Sometimes it's proof that He's still writing a better ending than we can see."

Episode 33: Your Children Are Watching

When Public Faith Doesn't Match Private Life

Who are you when the church service is over?

Our greatest testimony may not be what we say on Sunday—it may be how we love, lead, and show up for the people waiting for us at home.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kara and Misty explore the difference between public faith and private faith, why our first ministry begins at home, and how to navigate the challenges of co-parenting with grace when another parent continually lets your children down.

If you've ever struggled with broken promises, family disappointment, or wondered how to point your children to Jesus in the middle of difficult circumstances, this episode is for you.

Together, we'll discuss: ✨ Why your children are watching more than they're listening ✨ What the Bible says about authentic faith at home ✨ How to respond to disappointment without becoming bitter ✨ Encouragement for parents, grandparents, and caregivers carrying the weight alone ✨ Why showing up consistently may be one of the greatest acts of love you'll ever give

Your children don't need a perfect parent.

They need a parent who keeps pointing them to a perfect Savior.

Join us as we discover how living an authentic faith at home can leave a legacy that lasts for generations.

💜 Because children may not remember every sermon... but they'll always remember who showed up.

Episode 32: Have you ever wondered...

"Is God trying to tell me something?"

Maybe you've prayed for direction, searched the Scriptures, or waited in silence, hoping God would make His will clear. If you've ever questioned whether God still speaks today, this episode is for you.

In this encouraging conversation, Kara and Misty explore the many ways God speaks to His people through His Word, the Holy Spirit, prayer, wise counsel, and the quiet promptings that draw us closer to Him.

You'll also hear personal testimonies of how God has faithfully led, opened unexpected doors, and used ordinary moments to reveal His extraordinary plans.

Together, we'll discuss: ✨ How to recognize God's voice ✨ How to distinguish His leading from our own thoughts ✨ Why God's Word is the foundation for every message He gives ✨ Common obstacles that keep us from hearing Him ✨ How obedience often begins with listening

God has never stopped speaking. The question isn't whether He's speaking—it's whether we're listening.

If you're longing for wisdom, direction, or reassurance, this episode will encourage you to quiet the noise, lean into His presence, and trust that the Good Shepherd still calls His sheep by name.

Because God still speaks... and He wants you to know His voice. ❤️

Episode 31: Do patterns of addiction, anger, fear, broken relationships, or spiritual bondage run through your family? Have you ever wondered if you're destined to repeat what came before you?

In this powerful episode of Girls Can Pray Too, Misty and Kara explore what the Bible really says about generational patterns, inherited struggles, personal responsibility, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Together, they separate biblical truth from common misconceptions, showing that while family patterns can influence us, they do not have to define us.

Through the stories of Rahab, David, Solomon, and other biblical examples, you'll discover how God redeems family legacies, breaks cycles of sin, and creates a new inheritance for those who belong to Him.

If you've ever felt trapped by your past or burdened by your family's history, this episode is a reminder that your story doesn't have to end where theirs began. Freedom is possible, healing is available, and in Christ, every generation has the opportunity to start a new legacy.
