Are you dealing with someone who's mean-spirited, manipulative, or narcissistic? Have you been praying for something for YEARS and God still hasn't answered? Do you feel stuck, alone, and wondering if God even sees you?

Hannah gets it.

In this powerful episode of Old Ladies Know Stuff, Rhonda Stoppe unpacks the story of Hannah from 1 Samuel 1-2—a woman who faced infertility, a narcissistic rival wife, and years of unanswered prayers. But her story doesn't end in despair—it ends in influence that shaped generations.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✨ How to recognize narcissistic behavior (in family members, friends, spouses, or even yourself) and what to do about it

✨ What to do when spiritual leaders let you down—and why church hurt shouldn't drive you away from God's people

✨ The power of persistent prayer—Hannah never stopped asking God for a child, and her faithfulness changed history

✨ How to find joy even when circumstances are painful—Hannah's secret wasn't her situation; it was her satisfaction in God alone

✨ Why keeping your promises to God matters—even when it doesn't make sense (like Hannah giving Samuel back to Eli, who wasn't exactly father-of-the-year material)

✨ The difference between being a consumer of church and being part of the body—Rhonda gets real about why watching online isn't enough

This episode is for you if:

• You're in a relationship with a narcissist and feel trapped
• You've been praying for something and God keeps saying "not yet"
• Someone in your life is mean, manipulative, or constantly making you feel small
• You've been hurt by church leaders and are tempted to walk away
• You're waiting for God to answer a prayer and wondering if He even hears you
• You need a reminder that your identity isn't in your circumstances—it's in Christ alone

Rhonda gets vulnerable about her own experience living with a narcissistic sister, shares powerful insights about how to set boundaries, and reminds us that faithful motherhood isn't about what we DO for our children—it's about how we lean into God through the journey.

Hannah's story proves that what you're walking through right now isn't wasted. Someone is watching. And your faithfulness in the hard seasons will become a legacy that outlasts you.

Listen now and let Hannah's story of persistent prayer, unshakable joy, and patient waiting inspire you to keep trusting God—even when life feels unfair.
