This week on Messy but Motivated, we’re getting real about something every believer wrestles with: when God says “no.” It hurts in the moment. It’s confusing. It feels unfair. But later — sometimes months or even years down the road — we look back and see that His “no” was actually His protection, His redirection, and His love in disguise.
In this episode, we unpack why God closes certain doors, how to trust Him in the disappointment, and what it looks like to let go of what we thought we needed so we can step into what He had planned all along.
Then, I share an incredibly powerful testimony from Amanda, a young woman whose story shines light in some of the darkest places. From losing her father at age two, to yearning for belonging, to being groomed by the very man she trusted as a father figure — Amanda’s journey is raw, heartbreaking, and unbelievably brave. But it doesn’t end in the mess.
She walks us through how God opened her eyes, healed her heart, and moved her into a life of freedom and clarity.
Her story is proof that even in our most painful chapters, God is still writing redemption.
Join me for an episode full of honesty, healing, and hope — because sometimes God’s greatest “no” leads to our greatest breakthrough.
