God, Why? I’ve Been Faithful to You

What happens when you've faithfully followed God—and suddenly find yourself questioning Him?

Mark Folk remembers sitting beside a fire after receiving devastating news about his daughter's health and asking God why. He had served Him, surrendered to Him, and tried to obey Him. Yet now his daughter was suffering.

God's response wasn't the answer Mark wanted.

It was the answer he needed.

This conversation is for anyone walking through a wilderness season, unanswered prayer, illness, disappointment, or the fear that God has somehow moved away.

Mark's story reminds us that sometimes God doesn't immediately remove the wilderness. He meets us in it.

She Mistook Approval For Love

Do you feel guilty whenever you say no? Perhaps you are the person everyone depends on, but no one seems to notice how tired you have become.

Tara Johnson spent years believing that approval was the same thing as love. She smiled, served, performed, and kept everyone happy while quietly battling fear, resentment, perfectionism, and depression.

Then her husband became critically ill. As Tara watched him lying in intensive care, the demands from others continued. One day, completely overwhelmed in a hospital hallway, she told God she had nothing left.

That was where surrender began.

Tara shares how God confronted her need for control, reminded her that she did not have to carry everyone, and taught her to begin each day with one simple desire: “Jesus, whatever happens today, I want You and me to do it together.”

This conversation is for anyone who is tired of earning approval and ready to receive the love of the God who sees them.

When "Praying More" Doesn’t Heal Your Child’s Depression

Nothing prepares your soul for the moment you realize your child has lost the will to live. You did everything "right," you raised them in church, and yet you are staring into the abyss of their depression, wondering where God is and if it’s all your fault.

In this deeply raw conversation, author and mom Lori Wildenberg joins Nancy to share the terrifying night her college-aged daughter attempted to take her own life, and the painful illusion of the "perfect Christian parenting formula." If you are a parent carrying the heavy, exhausting weight of a child's mental illness, eating disorder, or silent trauma, please know you are not alone, and you do not have to hide your tears here.

Lori exposes the crushing damage of spiritual shame—like being told your child just needs to "pray more"—and points us back to the real, unvarnished Jesus who holds us when life falls completely apart. You will discover the crucial difference between normal grief and deep depression, why building biblical hope matters more than just forcing "resiliency," and why sometimes, simply surviving the day is a massive victory in Christ.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." — John 16:33
