In Part 2 of Why I Am Mad at God, we explore the pain of unanswered prayers and the emotional weight of God's silence. This episode speaks to anyone who has prayed earnestly and felt ignored, forgotten, or overlooked. Through raw reflection and scripture-inspired insight, we unpack what silence really means—and how it may be shaping us more than we realize.

What happens when faith hurts?

In this deeply honest episode of The Guided Words, Benel opens up about the part of faith we don't talk about enough—anger, disappointment, and silence. Pulled from his book Why I Am Mad at God, this episode explores what it feels like to pray with expectation and still feel unheard.

If you've ever asked God “Why?”
If you've ever felt ignored, frustrated, or emotionally exhausted while still trying to believe…
This episode is for you.

Inspired by Psalm 13 and Psalm 34, this conversation reminds us that real faith isn't pretending everything is okay—it's staying honest when it's not. God can handle your questions, your frustration, and your truth.

You're not broken.
You're not faithless.
You're human.
