Summary
"My faith says trust God. My reality says I'm exhausted."A listener approaching her 29th birthday writes in with a question that many believers quietly wrestle with:What do you do when your faith and your reality seem to be telling two different stories?After years of investing in her career, serving faithfully in church, pursuing creative dreams, navigating racism in Christian spaces, and watching others move forward while she feels stuck, she's left wondering:Where is the fruit of all this effort?Why does faith feel harder than it used to?How do you stay hopeful when life isn't unfolding the way you imagined?Can you be honest with God about your disappointment?In this episode, we discuss racism in church spaces, career uncertainty, creative calling, loneliness, therapy, faith, and the freedom to bring your whole self before God—even the angry, frustrated, and grieving parts.This conversation is for anyone who feels like they've done "all the right things" and still finds themselves asking, "God, what are You doing?"Resources & LinksEmber mug Yvette Loves 🍵💍https://bit.ly/4lfn38iMentor Couple Wait List 🫂🖤https://forms.gle/VcUDRgf6km9kHWEK7Release Rest Remain 📖✨https://a.co/d/ihBmSdOFather Yourself First 📘🔥https://www.amazon.com/Father-Yourself-First-Everything-Deserves/dp/1400252555Yvette’s Email List 💌🌿https://yvettehenry.com/join-the-listRelease Rest Remain Bible Reading Plan 🙏🏽📖https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/64646Premarital Advantage 💍🧠https://howmarriedareyoupodcast.mykajabi.com/offers/VAbsx8N2Black Men’s Meeting 🖤🗣️https://partiful.com/e/kuXEBUC7PHfydRmI3sz4?HMAY Amazon Storefront (affiliate) 🛒✨https://www.amazon.com/shop/howmarriedareyou?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_0EGMQR9KJ94D8YGCDMV7&language=en-USWAYS TO PARTNER WITH US: Get special access to things we’re working on, extra content from our fam, and more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/HMAYSupport us with a one-time gift through PayPal: www.paypal.me/HMAYpodcastCONNECT WITH US ON INSTAGRAM:HMAY Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/howmarriedareyou/Glen: https://www.Instagram.com/beleafmelYvette: https://www.Instagram.com/mrsmelaninChocolate Babes: https://www.instagram.com/chocolatebabies/WATCH BELEAF IN FATHERHOOD:https://www.youtube.com/c/BeleafInFatherhoodtv/Thank you so much for tuning into this episode of How Married Are You?!
