🎙️ Episode 37: Did the Church Block You???👀

When the People Who Represented Jesus Wounded You

Have you ever been hurt by someone who claimed to follow Jesus?

Maybe it was a pastor. A church leader. A close friend. Or someone you trusted who made you question whether you even wanted to go back to church.

If you've ever found yourself wondering, "How do I keep following Jesus when His people have hurt me?"—this conversation is for you.

In this honest and hope-filled episode, Kara and Misty tackle one of the deepest wounds many believers carry: church hurt. Together, they explore what God's Word says about betrayal, forgiveness, healing, and why the failures of people should never become the reason we walk away from the Savior who never fails.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✨ Why church hurt cuts so deeply. ✨ How Jesus understands betrayal firsthand. ✨ The difference between trusting Jesus and trusting imperfect people. ✨ How forgiveness and healthy boundaries can coexist. ✨ Why your calling is still alive, even after disappointment. ✨ How God can heal wounds you thought would never heal.

If you've been carrying pain caused by the church, we pray this conversation reminds you that your story isn't over. Jesus still sees you, still loves you, and still has a purpose for your life.

People may have wounded your heart, but they don't get to write your future—Jesus does.

Because faith meets real life... and no conversation is off limits. 💜

Have you ever prayed with all your heart... and still felt like heaven was silent?

Maybe you've prayed for healing that never came. A marriage that still fell apart. A child who walked away from God. Or a breakthrough you've been waiting on for years.

If you've ever wondered, "God... did You even hear me?"—this conversation is for you.

In this heartfelt episode, Kara and Misty explore one of the hardest questions every believer faces: What do we do when God doesn't answer our prayers the way we hoped?

Together, we'll discover: ✨ Why God's silence doesn't mean He's absent. ✨ What Jesus, Paul, Habakkuk, and Lazarus teach us about trusting God through seasons of waiting. ✨ How to keep praying when you're discouraged. ✨ Why God's delays are not always His denials. ✨ How to find peace even when you don't understand God's plan.

If you're carrying an unanswered prayer, we pray this conversation reminds you that God hears every tear, every whispered prayer, and every cry of your heart.

Because sometimes the greatest miracle isn't the answer we wanted... it's discovering that God never left us while we waited.

💕 Episode Quote: "God's silence is not proof that He isn't listening. Sometimes it's proof that He's still writing a better ending than we can see."

Your Children Are Watching

When Public Faith Doesn't Match Private Life

Who are you when the church service is over?

Our greatest testimony may not be what we say on Sunday—it may be how we love, lead, and show up for the people waiting for us at home.

In this heartfelt conversation, Kara and Misty explore the difference between public faith and private faith, why our first ministry begins at home, and how to navigate the challenges of co-parenting with grace when another parent continually lets your children down.

If you've ever struggled with broken promises, family disappointment, or wondered how to point your children to Jesus in the middle of difficult circumstances, this episode is for you.

Together, we'll discuss: ✨ Why your children are watching more than they're listening ✨ What the Bible says about authentic faith at home ✨ How to respond to disappointment without becoming bitter ✨ Encouragement for parents, grandparents, and caregivers carrying the weight alone ✨ Why showing up consistently may be one of the greatest acts of love you'll ever give

Your children don't need a perfect parent.

They need a parent who keeps pointing them to a perfect Savior.

Join us as we discover how living an authentic faith at home can leave a legacy that lasts for generations.

💜 Because children may not remember every sermon... but they'll always remember who showed up.
