This is my most-listened-to message, recorded back in 2016—just a week after a wonderful lady in our church, Zoe Joy, passed away suddenly from cancer.

In it, I talk honestly about what it means to process pain in the presence of God and how to hold onto faith when life doesn’t make sense. It’s an invitation to walk with Him through the mystery, rather than around it.

We explore how to:

• Be gut-level honest with God, bringing Him our raw emotion and unanswered questions.

• Thank and praise Him through the pain, even when our hearts are breaking.

• Lay down our right to understand and choose trust instead.

I share from personal experience about navigating disappointment without losing hope, and how God can use seasons of sorrow to lead us into deeper intimacy and ultimately into His promises.

If you’ve ever faced moments that challenge your view of God’s goodness, this message will help you find a way to stay anchored in love, even in the storm.

(The ministry time is included in case you want to invite God to meet with you while I lead through the process)

Ever wondered why it feels so hard to grow in your faith alone? The truth is, you weren’t designed to.

In this episode, Wendy explores why we can’t become wholehearted disciples of Jesus in isolation—and why God designed us to grow in the context of community.

• How Jesus modelled the importance of community with the twelve, the three, and the one.

• Why the enemy works so hard to isolate us, and why we’re more vulnerable when we walk alone.

• The call to live in authentic church community and cultivate 2–3 trusted friendships.

• Four keys to building wholehearted relationships: Pray for good friends, take relational risks, learn to ask good questions, understand your heart and attachment style

  
  

Community may be messy, risky, and time-consuming—but it’s also where healing, freedom, and wholeness are found. You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Key Scriptures:

John 19:26–27 — Jesus entrusting His mother to John

1 Peter 5:8 — Be alert, the enemy prowls like a lion

1 John 1:7 — Walking in the light leads to fellowship
