33. God Is Still Writing Your Story with Chelsea
In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, Whitney is joined by Chelsea for a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation about faith, hardship, and what it really means to walk with God through every season of life.
Together, we explore the idea of the hero’s journey and how this familiar storytelling framework shows up not only in movies and books, but throughout the Bible and our own personal faith journeys.
This episode is an encouragement for the woman who feels stuck in the middle of her story and may be feeling unsure, weary, or questioning where God is in it all.
We talk honestly about suffering, growth, and why hardship doesn’t mean God has abandoned you, but often means He’s still actively working in your life.
If you’ve been asking questions like:
- Why does my faith journey feel so hard right now?
- Where is God in the middle of my struggles?
- Is hardship part of God’s plan for growth?
- How do I trust God when I don’t understand the season I’m in?
- What if this difficult chapter isn’t the end of my story?
Then this episode is for you!
