What if the darkest season of your life is the very place your faith learns to breathe? We gather around the story of Job, the raw honesty of separation, and the quiet courage of surrender to ask a harder question: what does dependence on God look like when everything is stripped away?

We start with the childlike posture of reliance—simple trust that God holds what we can’t. From there, we face the sting of Job’s wife and the pattern Scripture reveals: the enemy often reaches our hearts through the voices closest to us. Not to blame, but to awaken. We talk frankly about the power of a spouse to either steady or shatter, and why godly women and men carry a shared calling to protect the covenant when pressure mounts. The insights get personal as Ashley shares a breaking point that becomes a turning point—moving from “why” to “be still,” discovering that exhaustion can drive us into the hands that never fail.

Along the way, we open Hosea to see relentless love in action and explore how marriage mirrors Christ and the church. We admit how leadership feels when the plan is unclear, and why a simple “I don’t know, but I trust God” can be holy. A community prayer anchors the moment, reminding us that intercession is not filler—it’s fuel. If you’ve felt the blow that comes from the closest person, if you’ve wondered how to stand when surrender feels like loss, this conversation offers sturdy hope: darkness can be the frame that makes God’s light burn brighter.
