Ep. 9 When the Answers Don’t Look Like Answers: Seeing God in the “Inconvenient” Moments

Ever prayed for patience… and got people who test your limits instead? Or asked for peace… and ended up forced to slow down by a head cold? In this episode, we unpack the subtle (and sometimes hilarious) ways God answers prayers through opportunity rather than convenience. If you’re navigating stress, waiting seasons, or unexpected “lessons,” this conversation will hit home.
