What happens when the very people who introduced you to God become the reason you walk away from Him?

In this episode of EVOLVE thru God, I sit down with entrepreneur, wife, mother of six, and woman of deep faith Dani Goeppert for a beautiful conversation about loss, disappointment, forgiveness, and what it really means to trust God when life doesn’t go according to plan.

Dani shares her journey from growing up in the church to walking away from her faith after experiencing heartbreaking family circumstances and rejection from the very community she had trusted. But God wasn’t finished with her story.

Our conversation takes us from Canada to Israel, Germany, and Austria as Dani shares the unexpected ways God continued to show up in her life, her marriage, her family, and even during one of the most frightening seasons a parent can experience.

One of my favorite reminders from Dani is that there is always hope, even when we cannot see it.

Three Lessons You’ll Learn

1. Your relationship with God is not defined by your experience with religion. Even when people disappoint us, God’s love remains available.

2. Faith doesn’t mean life will be easy. Sometimes our relationship with God grows deepest when we are willing to question, wrestle, and trust Him through uncertainty.

3. Rest is an act of trust. Learning to step away from doing, producing, and controlling creates room to reconnect with God and the people we love.

🎁 The Gift of This Episode

The gift is hope.

Hope that your story is still being written, that God hasn’t forgotten you, and that even when the next chapter is impossible to see, you can trust that there is still something beautiful ahead.

If you’ve ever felt disappointed by religion, disconnected from God, or uncertain about what comes next, I believe this conversation will meet you right where you are.

WHO IS DANI GOEPPERT?

Dani Goeppert believes business can restore broken ground.

As co-founder and managing director of Scale with Stability, she builds rooms for faith-driven entrepreneurs who want to grow businesses that serve more than themselves. Through the Scale with Stability Summit, Dani gathers leaders who care about profit, people, stewardship, and Kingdom impact.

Her work is built around a simple conviction: entrepreneurs need to make more so they can invest more.

More into their families.
More into their communities.
More into the people they employ.
More into projects that bring real repair to broken places.

Dani creates immersive, meaningful events where business leaders can forge genuine connections, gain practical strategy, and leave with the kind of clarity that actually changes what they build next.

Behind the scenes, she is a Canadian living in Austria, married to the handsomest of German men, and raising six wildly loved children. Her life is full of Alps, cows, prayer, event spreadsheets, airport logistics, and the beautiful chaos of building a business and a family all at once.
