When the government began cutting funding for programs dedicated to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, countless professionals found themselves suddenly displaced—including our guest, Carol Gant, a passionate advocate who has spent her career fighting on behalf of children and families from marginalized communities.

Carol lost her job in March due to these sweeping changes. But instead of collapsing under the weight of uncertainty, she has chosen a different path—radical trust.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Carol opens up about:

• What it was like to lose her job because of decisions far beyond her control
• The emotional and spiritual toll of being out of work
• How she is navigating fear and identity in the waiting season
• Why she refuses to give up her calling or compromise her values
• The unexpected ways God has shown up as Provider—sometimes quietly, sometimes miraculously

This episode is a reminder that faith is not tested in the sunshine—it’s proven in the shadows. Carol’s testimony is honest yet hopeful, offering encouragement to anyone facing uncertainty, transition, or loss.

If you’re waiting on God… if you’re rebuilding after a setback… or if you simply need to hear a story of courage and unwavering faith—this conversation will lift you.

Tune in, be encouraged, and remember: when earthly doors close, heaven is still wide open.
