The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast
About this episode

Have you ever found yourself asking God “why”?

Friend, you’re not alone. We all face situations — in our families, in our faith, in our friend groups — that sometimes have us questioning whether God’s plans really are good. But remember this: Even when things seem unfixable or unusable, God is still at work, and He will give you what you need to make it through.


This conversation includes mom, wife and CEO of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Meredith Brock; Proverbs 31 Ministries' Promotional Copywriter, Cailah Garcia Lopez; and special guest Jenni Lord from Chosen. They share powerful stories and scriptural Truth surrounding times when God turned something hard into something beautiful.
