Have you ever had everything you thought you wanted… and still felt unsatisfied?

Maybe your circumstances didn’t turn out the way you hoped.
Maybe you’re carrying disappointment, waiting on something, or wondering why contentment feels just out of reach.

If you’ve ever felt that tension, this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast is for you.

I had the joy of sitting down with Joanna Kimbrel to talk about her new devotional, You Are Satisfied, and our conversation was both honest and hope-filled.

Joanna shares from her own story—walking through chronic illness, unmet expectations, and seasons that didn’t look anything like she planned—and how God gently revealed where she had been looking for satisfaction outside of Him.

Together, we talk about:
• Why our longings aren’t wrong—but where we take them matters
• How to recognize when we’re placing our hope in the wrong things
• The tension between enjoying God’s gifts and depending on them
• What it really looks like to trust God when life feels disappointing

Friend, if your heart feels restless today, you’re not alone—and you’re not without hope.

Your longing isn’t something to ignore…
it’s an invitation to come closer to the only One who can truly satisfy.

As you listen, my prayer is that you would experience the deep, steady peace that only comes from being rooted in Christ—no matter what your circumstances look like.

With love,
Rachael

The Love Offering

In this encouraging and deeply honest conversation, Rachael Adams sits down with Joanna Kimbrel to explore what it truly means to find lasting satisfaction in Christ. Drawing from her own season of chronic illness, disappointment, and unmet expectations, Joanna shares how God gently revealed the places she had been seeking fulfillment outside of Him—and how true contentment is found not in perfect circumstances, but in trusting God’s character. Together, they discuss the tension between enjoying God’s good gifts without idolizing them, recognizing misplaced hope, and the freedom that comes from releasing others from the pressure to satisfy us. With biblical wisdom and practical application, Joanna reminds listeners that even in grief and uncertainty, God is working for our good—and that a life rooted in His presence leads to deeper joy, purpose, and peace.
