What do you do when you pray, wait, and hear no clear answer from God?

When God feels silent, it is easy to assume He has stepped away, stopped caring, or rejected us. But God’s silence is not the same as God’s absence.

In the opening episode of When God Feels Silent: Faith in the Waiting, Tracie turns to Psalm 13, the story of Job, the hidden years of Jesus, and the finished work of the cross. This honest conversation makes room for unanswered questions without offering shallow explanations or false promises.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why God’s silence can feel like rejection • The difference between silence and absence • What biblical lament sounds like • Harmful assumptions Christians make about unanswered prayer • What the cross reveals about God’s love • A practical way to remain present with God • How to seek support when waiting becomes overwhelming.
