Trusting God When It Still Hurts with Ti...

Madison Prewett Troutt
About this episode

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! This week, Madi and Grant sit down with Pastor Tim Timberlake, author, speaker, and lead pastor of Celebration Church, for a powerful and honest conversation about pain, purpose, and how God uses our hardest seasons to shape us. Together, they dive deep into what it means to trust God when life hurts: when the delay feels endless, the prayers seem unanswered, and the pain feels bigger than the purpose. This episode is for anyone walking through something hard (the heartbreak, the waiting, or the silence) and wondering if God is still working. We pray this podcast reminds you that pain is never wasted in God's hands. He's present in the heartbreak, He's shaping purpose through the process, and He's writing beauty into every broken place.

Always stay you and stay true!

Questions/topics discussed and answered:

• How do you trust God's timing when life feels delayed?

• How can God use pain to prepare you for purpose?

• Why does God sometimes allow long seasons of waiting or difficulty?

• How do you keep praying and believing when nothing seems to change?

• How can gratitude and joy exist even in the middle of pain?

AND SO MUCH MORE!
