What happens when the life you imagined looks nothing like the life you're living?
In this episode of This Unexpected Life, Carrie welcomes author and speaker Angela Mackey as part of a new November series, Suffering Speaks a Common Language.
Angela isn’t a special needs mom, but she does share her journey of suffering through two life-threatening ectopic pregnancies, infertility, and the grief of dreams that didn't unfold as she expected. Together, Carrie and Angela explore what it means to wrestle honestly with God, practice Biblical lament, and remember His faithfulness even when prayers aren't answered the way we hoped.
They also discuss the battle of spiraling thoughts, the importance of bringing our doubts and questions to God, and practical ways to anchor our minds in Scripture.
Whether you're navigating infertility, disability parenting, grief, or another unexpected season of suffering, this conversation reminds us that we don't have to have all the answers to trust the One who walks with us through the fire.
