Waiting on God can be frustrating.

We pray, we trust, we hope—and sometimes it feels like nothing is happening. If we're being honest, waiting can bring questions, doubts, impatience, and even disappointment.

In this Real Talk conversation, we're talking about the reality of waiting on God, what it looks like to trust Him when answers don't come quickly, and how faith grows in the space between the prayer and the promise.

If you've ever found yourself asking, "God, what are You doing?" this one's for you.

Sickness can affect the body, but it can also weigh heavily on the heart and mind. In those moments, prayer reminds us that we are never facing our struggles alone.

Whether you're praying for your own healing or lifting up someone you love, take a moment today to bring every concern, fear, and diagnosis before God. Ask for strength, peace, comfort, wisdom for medical professionals, and healing according to His will.

No matter what you're facing, God sees you, cares for you, and walks with you through every step of the journey.

Life moves fast, and sometimes we get so focused on the big things we're praying for that we miss the blessings already sitting right in front of us.

This off-season short is a reminder to slow down, look around, and thank God for the everyday moments—the conversations, opportunities, provisions, and little reminders of His love that often go unnoticed.

Sometimes the biggest miracles aren't the loud ones. They're the small, ordinary moments that quietly remind us God has been with us all along.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is be honest with God.

We all have moments when we're struggling, doubting, hurting, or simply exhausted. The good news? God never asked us to pretend. Throughout Scripture, people brought Him their fears, frustrations, questions, and pain—and He met them with grace.

You don't have to fake being spiritually okay. Bring God the real you. He's not intimidated by your struggles, and His love for you doesn't depend on having it all together.

Life has a way of throwing unexpected plot twists

One minute you’re praying for purpose… the next minute you’re going through trials you never saw coming.

In this special guest episode of The Retelling, we get real about trials, tribulations, faith, and purpose—and how God can use even the hardest seasons for something greater.

Because let’s be honest:

Sometimes the struggle feels unnecessary.

Sometimes the waiting feels heavy.

And sometimes you’re wondering if God is building you… or just stretching you a little too much

Through laughter, honesty, and faith-filled conversation, we unpack what it looks like to trust God when life isn’t making sense and how purpose can still exist in painful seasons.

No matter what season you’re in, we pray this conversation reminds you that your struggle is not wasted and God is still working—even in the middle of the mess.

Call to Action:

This week, instead of asking “Why is this happening to me?” ask God, “What are You teaching me through this?”

Ever feel like you’re not qualified for what God is calling you to do?

Same. But God has a habit of choosing imperfect people, giving impossible assignments, and still making incredible things happen.

This episode is for the people battling insecurity, fear, doubt, or feeling “not ready.” Your calling was never based on your résumé — it was based on God’s purpose.

Stop letting excuses talk you out of what God already spoke over your life. If He called you, He’ll equip you. Period.
