0:00.0	Today on The Girl Defined Show, we're having a raw and honest conversation about our unanswered prayers,
0:04.9	unfit-filled longings, and what to do when God doesn't give us what we desperately want.
0:12.3	Hey, sisterhood, it is Kristen Clark here. It is just me and you having this conversation today,
0:17.2	which I think is gonna be really fun, really insightful, really hard,
0:20.7	but I think we're gonna end this conversation with a lot of hope, and I'm so glad you're joining me for this conversation today.
0:26.6	Because this is something that's near and dear to my heart. If you know anything about my story,
0:30.5	which I'm gonna share a little bit about, then you know I have gone through
0:33.7	many seasons of un-fifilened longings, unanswered prayers, and in fact, I'm still walking in a season of

0:42.9	How do I press on? How do I trust God? I know I'm not alone in this. So stick around,

1:10.2	girl-defined conference. You know, un-fifilened longings, trusting God,
1:14.9	walking faithfully in the Word, growing in our relationship with God. That is something I know I struggle with.
1:20.0	I know so many of you struggle with this, too, because I hear from you. You DM me, you send us emails,
1:25.3	and I know it is hard for us to walk faithfully. As Christian women fighting against our flesh,
1:30.1	swimming against the current over the cultural flow of our world,
1:33.8	sometimes we can feel so alone. And so that's why I'm particularly
1:37.4	really excited about this year's conference because whether you are able to gather with us in person in San Antonio,
