Description: Hey friend,We all know the ache of unanswered prayer, the kind that keeps us up at 2 a.m., whispering desperate prayers into the dark. This week on the podcast, I sat down with Kara Stout, who knows that ache all too well. From infertility and adoption to financial stress and deep grief, Kara’s story is one of wrestling with disappointment, surrendering expectations, and still choosing to trust a good and faithful God.This conversation is for anyone who’s walked through the valley and wondered if God was still near. Kara gently reminds us: He is. Even when it hurts.Here are a few things we talk about:What it looks like to pray through grief instead of performing for GodHow to hold space for fear, faith, and surrender at the same timeThe simple but powerful gift of morning and evening prayer rhythmsWhy honesty with God invites deeper healingKara Stout is a writer, speaker, wife, and mom who has walked through more than her share of heartache, but she’s also found the beauty of God’s nearness in it all. Her new devotional, An Untroubled Heart, is a 30-day prayer guide to help you start and end your days grounded in God’s presence. She is passionate about helping women grow deeper roots of faith even in hard seasons.Let this episode remind you that unanswered prayer doesn’t mean unseen pain—and healing often begins in the honesty of the wait.With love,StephConnect with KaraKaraStout.comInstagramFacebookResources MentionedAn Untroubled Heart bookChristian Parenting resourcesChristian Parenting Christmas Gift GuidePrefer video?
