57. Getting Through What You're Going Through ft. Tanner Olson

Poet and speaker Tanner Olson returns to No Matter What to talk about his new book, Getting Through What You’re Going Through, and what it really looks like to cling to hope when life feels heavy. In this honest conversation, Hanna and Tanner talk about depression, anxiety, burnout, infertility, stress, and the quiet, steady presence of joy. They wrestle with waiting on God, learning to trust His timing, and remembering His faithfulness when circumstances don’t change. If you’re walking through something hard right now, this episode will remind you: everything may not be okay today — but that’s not the end of the story.
