## Resource

Have you ever stayed faithful—and still wondered, Why do I feel like I’m going backward? This episode is for believers who kept praying, obeying, and trusting God, only to find old thoughts, fears, or patterns resurfacing after a season of spiritual momentum. Caitlin Childs returns to share a deeply personal stretch of her journey when growth didn’t feel victorious—it felt confusing. Instead of rushing the process, God met her there, gently revealing that what felt like regression was actually part of maturing faith. You’ll hear how God walks with us through seasons where clarity fades, emotions quiet, and obedience continues without instant reassurance. If you’ve questioned whether you’re failing—or being formed—this conversation offers perspective, permission, and renewed confidence that God is still at work. If someone you love feels tired, discouraged, or quietly questioning their progress with God, send them this episode—it may be the reminder their faith needs in this season.
