Have you ever prayed for a breakthrough, believed with all your heart, and still found yourself waiting?

Still trusting.

Still hoping.

Still wondering why nothing seems to be changing.

In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, it’s just the two of us—no guest—because this conversation is for anyone walking through a season where the breakthrough hasn’t come yet.

We talk honestly about what happens when God feels silent, when the miracle doesn’t arrive on your timeline, and when you’re tempted to quit believing altogether. Wendie breaks down seven practical, faith-based principles that show you exactly what to do while you’re waiting—how to stay aligned with God’s will, take meaningful action, and keep your heart engaged instead of discouraged.

We also share real-life stories of delayed breakthroughs—health battles, infertility, healing journeys—to remind you that waiting doesn’t mean God isn’t working. Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t just about what God is doing for you, but what He’s doing in you.

If you’re in a waiting season right now, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a renewed sense of hope to keep moving forward without giving up.

What if the story you’re living right now—yes, even the painful parts—is being written by God with more intention than you can see?

In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, we sit down with our dear friends Joe and Tamara Battaglia, and we promise you this conversation will move you. You’ll laugh, you may cry, and you’ll walk away reminded that nothing in your life is random.

Joe’s journey through Christian media, Tamara’s deeply personal miracles of motherhood, the heartbreaks, the waiting seasons, and the surprising love story God orchestrated between them—it all points to one powerful truth: God is always working behind the scenes, even when we don’t recognize it in the moment.

Tamara shares the heart behind her devotional, Written in Heaven—a collection of real stories from women who’ve walked through infertility, loss, divorce, illness, loneliness, and restoration. These aren’t polished testimonies; they’re honest, faith-filled reminders that God sees you, hears you, and is still writing your story.

We also talk about marriage, purpose, second chances, loneliness, worship as warfare, and why sharing your story—no matter how ordinary it feels—might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

What happens when divorce shakes your faith?

In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Ayers, who went through a divorce while pregnant, deeply confused, angry at God, and still showing up every morning as a Christian radio host, smiling on air while her heart was breaking behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it together for everyone else while falling apart inside… this conversation is for you.

We talk honestly about grief, divorce, faith, anger, shame, and healing—and what it actually looks like to walk with God when you don’t feel very “Christian” at all. Hannah shares how God met her in practical, undeniable ways, how community and honesty changed everything, and why real healing only happens when we stop trying to avoid pain and finally face it.

This episode isn’t just about divorce.

It’s about loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the moments when you wonder if God is really still good.

If you’re hurting, isolated, or tired of pretending—you’ll find hope here. Not hype. Not platitudes. Real hope.

👉 Stay to the end, because Hannah also shares practical steps for healing and offers a free coaching session for those who need support right now.
