What does it mean to remain faithful when life doesn’t turn out how you planned?

In this episode, Chris reflects on a season of life marked by unmet expectations, identity shifts, and spiritual refinement. From the outside, he had it all—marriage, a growing family, and a clear path in ministry. But underneath, he was wrestling with doubt, grief, and a quiet sense of failure.

Chris shares candidly about his early years in seminary, the challenges of young fatherhood, and the pressures of living up to an image. He opens up about the moment God asked him to surrender his plans and embrace something deeper: a faith forged in humility and hiddenness.

We explore the tension between calling and capacity, the ache of letting go, and the unexpected peace that comes when we choose trust over control. Chris’s story is one of grace in the waiting, strength in the small things, and the beauty of letting God write the next chapter.

If you’ve ever questioned your purpose or felt lost in the in-between, this conversation will meet you there—and remind you that God’s faithfulness never wavers, even when the road does.
