Guest: Holly Wagner

Susan Thomas and Pastor Holly Wagner have an honest conversation about walking through prolonged seasons of hardship. Holly shares her story of loss, betrayal, illness, and leadership under pressure and how God met her in the idle of it all. This episode explores spiritual resilience, standing firm in spiritual battles, and trusting God through life’s unexpected detours. Hard seasons are not the end of the story, but they are often the place where faith is forged.

QUESTIONS:

1. How do you guard your heart against bitterness or isolation when pressure piles up?
2. What small, practical act of gratitude could help shift your focus in this season?
3. Are you grounding yourself in God’s truth, or do you find yourself being pulled by other voices?
