**There is mature subject matter in this epsiode. Parents, please note that before listening around your kiddos!

Suffering is a universal part of the human experience, but for Christians, it often comes with a unique set of painful questions: Where is God in this? Why would a good God allow this to happen? How can I possibly trust Him when my heart is breaking?

In this deeply personal episode of the "Faith Every Day" series, I sit down with my own pastor, Andy, to talk through these difficult questions.

This isn't a conversation with easy answers or simple platitudes. Instead, we're exploring what it really looks like to cling to God in the middle of a hard season, how our suffering can actually be used to deepen our faith, and where we can find unshakeable hope in Scripture when everything else feels like it's falling apart.

If you are walking through a valley right now, or you love someone who is, my prayer is that this conversation will be a gentle, grace-filled encouragement for your soul.

Does prayer ever feel… complicated? You know you should pray, but when you sit down, you don't know what to say. The words feel clunky, repetitive, or your mind just goes blank.

Friend, you are not alone. In this episode of the "Faith Every Day" series, I sit down with my dear friend Rochelle for a really honest conversation about prayer. We're letting go of the pressure of "perfect" prayers and talking about what it really looks like to have a simple, genuine conversation with God.

Have you ever looked at someone's life and thought, "Wow, their faith is so real"?

In this 6-part series, I sit down with people from my own life—my pastor, my husband, and dear friends—for honest conversations about what it really looks like to live out your faith when life gets busy. Join us as we talk about trusting God through suffering, sharing your faith without being weird, praying when you have no words, worship when you don't feel like it, mentorship, and Scripture memory.

We'll bridge the gap between the words we read in the Bible and the lives we live every day, anchoring it all in the truth that a consistent time in God's Word is the foundation for it all.
