Summary

Send a text Ep. 049 - The question we should be asking isn’t “Will I experience disappointment?” but rather “How can I still find joy in the midst of my disappointment when it strikes?” Over the past few years, God has been teaching Kristen and Bethany a lot about finding joy in the midst of their own disappointments.

0:00.0	Today on The Gold Define Show, we're talking about something that every one of us has to walk through,
0:04.3	whether we want to or not, which I don't think any of us want to. And that's disappointment.
0:08.8	I, Bethany, remember a time it was a few years ago when I had this opportunity, which felt like a
0:13.2	dream opportunity. I was going to get to help, like co-host this massive live, like,
0:19.5	Simulcast event for a huge conference that I, it was like a dream come true. Like, I never imagined
0:24.4	that I would get this opportunity. I was so pumped, so excited, and then disappointment struck.
0:29.3	I literally found myself crippled in bed with a migraine. Literally, I'd take an uber back. I

0:39.2	muster up the strength to be there. And I remember feeling so disappointed during that experience.
0:44.8	And I know wherever you are right now that you've faced and will face disappointment. How can we
0:49.6	walk through that? How can we find true hope? Because we know that disappointment comes after each of us.

1:20.8	it now, you either just came out of disappointment. You're going into disappointment or you're in
1:24.0	the midst of disappointment. And I know that is something every single one of us can relate to.
1:29.1	And that is actually a huge theme in our new book, Not Part of the Plan,
1:33.3	Trusting God with the twists and turns of your story. This is a brand new book that we are so
1:38.5	pumped about because truly, I think we would both agree that this is, we co-authored this together
1:43.1	as sisters and we each share, I think more transparently than ever before in any of our videos,
