When Faith Feels Fragile with Kristen Wetherall and Sarah Walton Ep.750

What do you do when you've prayed, waited, and hoped for things to change, but they don't?

In this episode of the Awesome Marriage Podcast, Dr. Kim talks with Kristen Wetherell and Sarah Walton, authors of Jesus Will Meet You There, about what it looks like to hold onto faith when life feels painful, confusing, or completely out of your control.

When illness, grief, disappointment, or struggles in marriage leave you wondering where God is, it can be easy to question His goodness or feel like you're walking through the hard season alone. Kristen and Sarah share honestly from their own experiences about trusting God when you can't see what He's doing—and how suffering can actually draw us closer to Him.

They also talk about what happens in marriage when life gets hard, how spouses can support one another when one person's faith feels weak, and why your spouse was never meant to fill the space that only Christ can fill.

You may not always have answers or see your circumstances change, but there is hope: Jesus meets you there.

Top Takeaways:

Faith means trusting God even when you don't understand what He's doing.

Hard seasons can either divide a marriage or draw a couple closer together.

Your spouse can't fill the space that only Christ can fill.

Sarah Walton:

"The more we fixate on each other's growth and on each other needing to be what we think they need to be, the more we're distracted from our own hearts."
