Summary

Some conversations feel like a deep breath, and this one does. In this beautiful episode, Ginny Yurich sits down with singer-songwriter and author Ginny Owens to talk about disappointment, longing, burnout, bullying, unchanging circumstances, and the faith it takes to keep going when life does not turn out the way you hoped. With warmth, honesty, and so much wisdom, Ginny Owens shares how God meets us in the plod, how our deepest aches can stop being the center of the story, and why even the most hidden seasons may be full of purpose. This is an episode for anyone who feels tired, sidelined, overlooked, or stuck and needs the reminder that the dark is not empty, and the slow parts of life are not wasted.
