In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Stephen Hogue shares an intimate story of pain, prayer, and purpose. Drawing from Joel 2, Stephen invites listeners into a vulnerable season of his life—navigating the heartbreak, anger, and confusion of parenting children from hard places.

What began as a night of frustration and unanswered questions turned into a life-changing revelation: the pressing—the pressure, the trials, the sleepless nights—is producing something sacred. Wine and oil. Healing and restoration. Not just for his family, but for others walking the same road.

Whether you’re parenting children who’ve experienced trauma, walking through grief, facing infertility, or simply asking, “How can God use this?”—this episode is for you.

Tune in as Stephen unpacks the purpose behind the process, and how the very pain you’re enduring may be the preparation for the ministry God has ahead.
