S5 EP21: Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud: I love my Faith But I've Had Questions I'm Afraid to Ask

About this episode

The episode explores the deep questions and struggles Christian women face regarding their faith, including doubt, unanswered prayers, and feelings of anger towards God.

Have you ever been angry at God and didn't know if that was allowed? Have you sat in church smiling while internally asking why He felt so far away? Have you prayed the same prayer for years and still heard nothing — and quietly started to wonder if any of it was even working? This is Episode 4 of our mini-series — Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud — and we saved this one for last on purpose. Because this one is the deepest. And the most personal. In this episode, Tayler, Alora, and Mary go to the places most Christian podcasts won't. The doubt. The unanswered prayers. The seasons where God went completely silent and they didn't know what to do with that. The bitterness of watching someone else receive the miracle you prayed for. The anger they were afraid to admit even to themselves. This is the faith episode. And it is the most honest one yet. In this episode we talk about: Doubt as a doorway — not a dead end What to do when God feels completely silent Praying for your husband's safety every deployment and still living in fear every single day The prayers that felt unanswered and what that did to our faith Being angry at God — and whether that's allowed (spoiler: it is)…
