This time, Rene sits with her friend, Jessica Holloman, for a conversation that blends honest struggle with stories of God’s hand at work in the waiting. Together, they explore what it means to believe God for good even when life doesn’t look the way we hoped. Jessica vulnerably shares her journey as a mother to her youngest son, Fennian, who was diagnosed with autism and once considered nonverbal. She opens up about the slow but miraculous progress she’s seen, the prayers answered in small but meaningful ways, and the lessons God has been teaching her through the waiting.


Drawing from Luke 7, Acts 4, Psalm 27, and Romans 5, they reflect on how faith is refined in seasons of delay and disappointment, and how God’s goodness is often revealed in the steady, unseen work He does in our hearts. Through stories of answered prayer, honest admissions of struggle, and moments of encouragement, this conversation offers hope to anyone who feels like they’ve been waiting too long for breakthrough. It’s a reminder that God’s promises are true, His presence is constant, and the goodness of the Lord can be seen even in the land of the living.
