Have you ever felt like life didn’t turn out the way you expected—or on the timeline you hoped for?

Maybe you’ve looked around and wondered if you’re somehow behind.

In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with author and poet Tanner Olson to talk about his book Getting Through What You are Going Through and what it looks like to walk through seasons of uncertainty, waiting, and even grief while still holding onto hope.

Through his own story of infertility, waiting, and ultimately adoption, he reminds us that God is present—not just at the end of our story, but right in the middle of it. If you’re in a season that feels heavy or unclear, this conversation will gently encourage your heart.

In this episode, we talk about:
What to do when life feels off track
How to trust God’s timing when it’s different than yours
Why we shouldn’t just get through hard seasons—but go through them
Finding hope in the small, everyday moments

Friend, if you’re feeling behind today, I hope this reminds you—you’re not. God is still writing your story, and He hasn’t forgotten you.

With love,
Rachael

The Love Offering

In this heartfelt and hope-filled conversation, Rachael Adams sits down with author, poet, and speaker Tanner Olson to talk about navigating seasons of uncertainty, grief, and feeling “behind” in life. Drawing from his personal journey through infertility, waiting, and ultimately adoption, Tanner shares how God meets us in the middle of our stories—not just at the end. Together, they explore the beauty of slowing down, noticing God’s presence in everyday moments, and embracing both the hardships and gifts of life. With honesty, wisdom, and gentle encouragement, this episode reminds listeners that they are not behind, God has not forgotten them, and even in the waiting, He is faithfully at work.
