Episode 325: When Life & Leadership Disappoint

About this episode

The episode discusses how to cope with disappointment in life and leadership while finding hope in unexpected circumstances.

What do you do when the season you’re living in looks nothing like the one you prayed for? When your personal life, your ministry life—or both—feel swallowed by disappointment? Life doesn’t always unfold the way we envision, but that doesn’t mean hope is off the table. In this episode, we talk honestly about unmet expectations, messy seasons, and the surprising hope God offers even when the story isn’t going the way we planned.
