Nothing prepares your soul for the moment you realize your child has lost the will to live. You did everything "right," you raised them in church, and yet you are staring into the abyss of their depression, wondering where God is and if it's all your fault.In this deeply raw conversation, author and mom Lori Wildenberg joins Nancy to share the terrifying night her college-aged daughter attempted to take her own life, and the painful illusion of the "perfect Christian parenting formula." If you are a parent carrying the heavy, exhausting weight of a child's mental illness, eating disorder, or silent trauma, please know you are not alone, and you do not have to hide your tears here.Lori exposes the crushing damage of spiritual shame—like being told your child just needs to "pray more"—and points us back to the real, unvarnished Jesus who holds us when life falls completely apart. You will discover the crucial difference between normal grief and deep depression, why building biblical hope matters more than just forcing "resiliency," and why sometimes, simply surviving the day is a massive victory in Christ."I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." — John 16:33#SuicidePrevention #DepressedTeen #ChristianParenting #MentalHealthInTheChurch #WhereIsGodwww.thecallwithnancysabato.com

You're lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering how a love that felt so certain on your wedding day suddenly feels so heavy and confusing. You love your spouse, but the unmet expectations, hidden struggles, and exhausting silence are making you secretly whisper, Did I marry the wrong person?If the first year of your marriage feels less like a fairy tale and more like a battleground of unmet needs, intimacy hurdles, and communication breakdowns, you are not broken—and you are certainly not alone. Today, Pastor Mike Novotny joins us to tear down the neat, polished facade of young marriage. With staggering transparency, Mike shares his own raw journey through the painful "seven-year itch," an early addiction to pornography that distorted his expectations of intimacy, and the moment he and his wife found themselves sitting in a counselor's office wondering how to bridge the gap between their different worlds. The breakthrough didn't come from pretending things were perfect; it came when they laid down their ammunition, stepped into radical humility, and allowed Jesus to become the third chord in their union. Whether you are dealing with difficult in-laws, financial stress, or a disappointing sex life, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe, stop performing, and let the grace of Christ rebuild your foundation.Matthew 19:6 > "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."#NewlywedStruggles#MarriageHelp#IntimacyIssues#ChristianMarriage #SaveMyMarriagewww.thecallwithnancysabato.com

Are you sitting in a heavy, lonely season where it feels like God has completely gone silent?

Instead, everything shut down. In this raw and deeply comforting conversation, Crickett shares the painful reality of feeling "put on the shelf" by God and how Jesus met her in that crushing quiet. If you are struggling to see His hand or find your purpose after a major life shift, this episode is a gentle reminder that God's love never finishes with us—He is simply inviting you to rest at His feet."I would've despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; take courage; wait for the Lord." — Psalm 27:13-14#WhereIsGod #SilentSeason #FindingPurpose #WaitingOnGod #RestInJesuswww.thecallwithnancysabato.com

Have you ever felt so completely crushed by the weight of your own past that you just wanted to shut the door, pull down the shades, and disappear?

From childhood trauma and the heavy burdens of police work to the morning he found himself at the absolute end of his rope in his patrol car, Adam opens up his heart about the moment he stopped hiding and let the perfect love of Jesus break through his defenses. This isn't about looking perfect for church; it's about the messy, beautiful reality of a Savior who meets us right in our deepest pain and whispers that we don't have to hide anymore.Scripture Meditation: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18#OvercomingShame #HealingFromTrauma #FindingHope #GodMeetsYouHere #ChristianTestimony

If you are tired of waking up in the middle of the night feeling like you are fighting a battle inside your own head, you are not alone. It is so exhausting to try and stay strong when your thoughts feel heavy, your home feels tense, and you cannot seem to find your peace.In this sweet conversation, our dear friend Heather Otis Tayloe sits down with us to gently pull back the curtain on how the enemy works in the quiet areas of our lives.

If you have ever felt forced to hide your face while crying at church, or wondered if your deep grief means you lack spiritual maturity, please know you are not alone. Today, author Brittany Lee Allen opens up her heart about surviving three miscarriages in a single year, only to face heavy spiritual judgment and manipulation in the midst of her profound sorrow.We often internalize the painful lie that a strong Christian must never look downcast or broken. But true joy isn't about wearing a fake smile; it is a gift of the Holy Spirit that can coexist with your deepest lament. Jesus Himself was a man of sorrows who wept openly, and He cares about every single piece of your broken heart. Lean in and find permission to pour out your raw soul before a Father who stores your precious tears in His bottle.Scripture: “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” — Psalm 56:8 For more information about this ministry go to the website: www.thecallwithnancysabato.com

There is a specific kind of quiet that happens when we reach the very end of our own strength. You might be there right now—looking around at a life that feels dry, wondering why the heavens seem like brass when you ask for help. It is so easy to feel like an accident in a cold world, to buy into the lie that your hurts don't matter and your story has no real purpose. I know how heavy that silence can be, and my heart truly aches for anyone reading this who feels completely invisible today.In our latest conversation, my dear friend Jay McCarl took us back to the exact moment he hit that existential wall as a young man. Exhausted by a world that offered no answers, he prayed a desperate, painful prayer on a Wednesday night, asking God to show up or let him slip away. Jay's story isn't about a perfect, polished faith; it's about a real, living Savior who isn't frightened by our ugliest moments. When Jay cried out, the Holy Spirit answered him through the simple kindness of a classmate the very next morning.Beloved, if you are struggling to find a reason to hold on, please take this to heart: the Lord is mindful of you. He is like the wind—moving gently through our chaos, breaking through our dark nights, and bringing life to places we thought were completely dead. You are not a mistake, and you do not have to carry this heavy burden all by yourself.
