Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Have you ever felt like God suddenly closed a door you were sure He called you to walk through? In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Miracles in the Madness , I’m joined again by Lori Hancock as she shares the raw, behind-the-scenes reality of ministry life. We dive into what happens when obedience leads to unexpected hardship, when your community becomes a place of pain, and when God allows a season that feels confusing, unfair, and even devastating. Lori vulnerably shares her family’s journey through: Ministry challenges and spiritual warfare Feeling blindsided and betrayed Walking away from a job without a safety net Wrestling with fear, uncertainty, and unanswered questions And ultimately… learning to trust God’s redirection This episode will remind you God is still working - even in the closed doors, the heartbreak, and the unexpected detours. You’ll be encouraged to: Recognize spiritual attacks and stay grounded in truth Trust God’s timing, even when it doesn’t make sense Hold onto peace when your circumstances feel anything but peaceful Whether you're in ministry, building something God has called you to, or simply trying to follow Him in your everyday life - this conversation will meet you right in the middle of your “madness” and point you back to His faithfulness.
