## Resource

What do you do when you've prayed, believed, and trusted God... but nothing changes? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Priti Idrovo, and Ti'heasha Beasley unpack one of the hardest realities of the Christian life: trusting God when the answer isn't immediate—or isn't what you hoped for. Using the powerful stories of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8, the conversation explores what biblical faith really looks like. Together, they wrestle with waiting seasons, unanswered prayers, disappointment, infertility, suffering, comparison, and how to remain anchored in God's character instead of our circumstances. This honest conversation answers questions like: • Why doesn't God answer every prayer? • How do I trust God while I'm waiting? • Is it wrong to feel frustrated with God? • What does real faith actually look like? • How do I keep believing when I don't see a miracle? • Can God change me even if He doesn't change my situation? If you've ever felt discouraged, exhausted from waiting, or wondered if God has forgotten you, this episode will remind you that faith isn't about getting everything you want—it's about learning to trust the One who never changes.
