Have you ever been in a season where life felt unfair, and you found yourself asking, “Lord, why me?” I’ve been there — feeling like I was doing everything right, yet everything seemed to be falling apart. In this episode, I get real about those moments when you want to throw in the towel, compromise your morals, or question God’s plan.
I share my personal story of walking through one of my toughest challenges and how a single message — “God is not concerned with your comfort, He’s concerned with your character” — completely shifted my perspective.
We dive into why God allows trials, how to stay grounded and protect your character in the midst of challenges, and the lessons we can learn from Job’s story of endurance and restoration. I also provide scriptures to meditate on, journal prompts to process your journey, and practical ways to lean on community, therapy, and faith when life gets heavy.
By the end of this episode, my hope is that you’ll walk away feeling encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that your season of discomfort is shaping your character — and that God is preparing something greater for you.
Plus, I’ll give you the latest details about The Grace Gathering happening on January 17th, 2026 — a safe, intimate, and uplifting experience filled with networking, live podcast content, and so much more.
