What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you expected? When disappointment shakes your faith, loss leaves you with unanswered questions, and God seems silent when you need Him most?

On this episode of Hope for the Journey with Monica Schmelter, Monica sits down with Tammy Trent for an honest, hope-filled conversation about navigating pain, confronting doubt, and finding God in the middle of your life’s hardest seasons.

Drawing from her own journey through deep loss and heartbreak, Tammy shares how our wounds, disappointments, and unanswered questions can sometimes drown out the truth of God’s Word. Together, Monica and Tammy explore how to bring our honest questions before God, recognize the lies that can take root in our hearts, and rediscover our true identity in Christ.

Through biblical truth, personal stories, and moments of humor, Tammy offers encouragement and practical tools to help you move toward healing and strengthen your faith—even when life feels overwhelming.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is when you’re hurting, this conversation is for you. You'll be reminded that your questions don’t have to push you away from God. He can use even your hardest seasons to draw you closer to Him.

Because even when you can’t see the way forward, your story isn’t over, and you are never alone on the journey.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How to navigate disappointment and unanswered questions without losing your faith.

• Why unresolved wounds can make it difficult to hear God’s truth.

• How to recognize the lies pain can cause us to believe about ourselves and God.

• How Scripture and an honest relationship with God can help us move toward healing.

• Why our identity in Christ remains secure, even when life doesn’t go as planned.

Join Monica Schmelter and Tammy Trent for a powerful reminder that God is still present in your pain, faithful in your questions, and at work in your story.
