If you've ever whispered, "God, what do I do with this grief I can't even name?" — this episode is for you. So many parents are trying to stay faithful… while quietly carrying spiritual pain no one else sees. Grief that doesn't have a name. Disappointment that feels "un-Christian" to admit. Anguish that lingers, even when you're doing all the "right" things. In this episode, we talk honestly about the kind of pain that doesn't fit into neat categories — and the courage it takes to stay when your heart feels like it's breaking. What we cover: Why unspoken pain doesn't disappear — it just goes underground The difference between doubt and honest faith How lament can actually be one of the most faithful things you do Naming grief when your child is still alive What to pray when you're too tired for long prayers Why your sorrow does not disqualify your faithfulness Take this with you: You are not just a parent in pain. You are a parent in position. And God is still working in the dark. Mentioned in this episode: Last week's episode on releasing shame (Ep 1: "It Wasn't Your Fault") Scripture-based reflections on grief and lament A simple practice of honest prayer you can begin this week Let's stay connected: If today's episode spoke to you, would you take a moment to share it with someone who's navigating a similar journey? You're not alone — and neither are they.

Sometimes when we're disappointed in our running it can lead to more negatives. It can make us lose opportunities that might help us or be better for us in running. It's easy to let our negative thinking move our running in the wrong direction, so I hope these can help you in your running and start your new year off great!

What happens when tradition collides with big money in college football? Is loyalty dead in pro sports? On the next Fourteen Twenty Sports Bar Podcast, I sit down with Aaron Riley for a brutally honest look at how NIL deals, the transfer portal, and coaching changes are unraveling the games we thought we knew. We dig into why fans are tuning out, how contracts are shaping players' choices, and what it all means for the future of sports. Curious where all this leads? Tune in as we sort through the chaos, debate solutions, and consider what loyalty means in the age of million-dollar athletes.
Disappointment has a way of showing up unexpectedly—sometimes through life-altering hardship, and sometimes through smaller shifts that still sting deeply. This devotional reminds us that even when our disappointments feel insignificant compared to others’ struggles, they still matter to God because they matter to us. And while we may wish disappointing days would disappear completely, Scripture is honest that trouble is part of life. But so is God’s steady presence. One of the most comforting truths offered here is that disappointment is not proof that God is disappointed in us. It isn’t a sign that we’ve done something wrong or that we’ve fallen out of favor. Instead, God knows exactly where we are, and He has not abandoned us in the space we’re in. The devotional points to Psalm 18:19 as a reminder that God rescues and provides refuge because He delights in His children. That means even when circumstances feel cramped, heavy, or discouraging, God can still lead us into a “spacious place”—a place where peace is present, where protection is real, and where we can still see His blessings at work. God’s delight in us is constant. And in return, He invites us to find our delight in Him—even on disappointing days. That doesn’t mean ignoring sorrow or forcing happiness. It means turning toward the One who remains faithful, who offers refuge in the middle of our letdowns, and who is guiding us toward a future shaped by His goodness. Even in disappointment, we are never outside God’s care, His plan, or His delight. Main Takeaways Disappointment is part of life, but it is never proof that God is disappointed in you. God is not surprised by your circumstances—He is present and active in them. The Lord offers refuge and rescue in the very middle of discouragement. God delights in you consistently, even when your joy feels threatened. You can find true delight in God’s presence, even on hard days.

Happy New Year! We ring in the new year with a twist off champagne disappointment and a commitment to embracing the struggle. We review our 2025 resolutions, celebrating a shocking victory involving the Goodyear Blimp while admitting defeat on our gym consistency, and set new, oddly specific goals for 2026. Erin also goes on a passionate rant about the "rage" of physical limitations during yoga and the stress of friends who refuse to sync their digital calendars.In sports news, we dig into the messy bankruptcy filing of Grand Slam Track, exposing the staggering amounts owed to athletes and media companies (including a $3 million marketing bill) and discussing the drama unfolding on Threads regarding undisclosed sponsorships. We also debate the purpose of those mysterious trash cans in drive-thru lines and share a childhood fear of stuffed animals. Finally, we determine the ultimate "worst sound when overstimulated" in our bracket segment—pitting shoe squeaks against loud dishes—and close with a high energy "No Bad News" story about a music teacher turning his kindergarten class into a techno rave.

Send us a textEXPECTATION VS. REALITYDisappointment with God | Part 1 Senior Pastor Keith StewartJanuary 4, 2026Some of the deepest spiritual pain isn't simply what happens to us—it's what we thought God would do and didn't. When expectations collide with reality, disappointment isn't far behind. This Sunday we're starting a new series: “Expectation vs. Reality.” We'll talk honestly about disappointment with God—where it comes from, what it reveals about what we really believe, and how that disappointment can either spiral into discouragement… or become the doorway to deeper faith and healing. If you're carrying questions, confusion, or a heavy heart—you're not alone. And you don't have to pretend. If you know someone who's walking through a hard season, feel free to share this with them.”Discussion Questions 1. Expectations reveal themselves in pain - “Expectations are never apparent until they're unfulfilled.” Where in your life right now are unmet expectations creating disappointment—and what might that disappointment be revealing about what you truly believe (about God, yourself, or life)? 2. Stealth expectations - Brené Brown calls them “stealth expectations”—the expectations we don't even know we have. What are some “silent contracts” you've placed on God or other people (unspoken demands like “You should know,” “This shouldn't happen,” “I don't deserve this”)? How have those shaped resentment or shame? 3. The spiral of disappointment - Disappointment can move toward discouragement → disillusionment → depression → defeat.Where have you seen that progression at work in your own life (or someone close to you)? What are the early warning signs that tell you you're slipping into that spiral? 4. Sorting cause and blame - The message challenged “blueprint theology” and victim-blaming, and explored the nature of life (broken world), people (sin and freedom), and God (His heart breaks first). Which of those categories helps you most right now—and which one is hardest for you to accept emotionally? 5. God can handle the truth - The Psalms give us language for honest lament, anger, confusion, and grief—without pretending. What emotions do you most struggle to bring to God (anger, fear, disappointment, sadness, doubt)? What would it look like this week to pray more like a lament psalm—honest, unfiltered, and trusting? 6. Disorientation as a doorway - Brueggemann's pattern: orientation → disorientation → reorientation. Where would you say you are in that cycle right now? What might “reorientation” look like for you—not necessarily a quick fix, but a deeper, truer relationship with God in the middle of your disappointment?

In this message, Pastor Marco explores how we can approach God in prayer when we face disappointment or loss. Disappointment is not a sign of God's absence; rather, it may be evidence that He is at work in ways we cannot yet see. Even in our brokenness, we can find strength and comfort in knowing that God is still at work.

No one likes to feel disappointed, but when you've gone through emotional abuse, that fear and avoidance is even stronger. Growing up, you learned the only way you could have value as a person was by pleasing others and essentially preventing them from experiencing a negative emotion. So if someone was disappointed in you, that was your fault, and thus, your responsibility to “fix.” I also think of disappointment as a gateway emotion to things like: shame, guilt, regret, inadequacy, etc. Disappointment isn't that big or heavy of an emotion; it's what you make that disappointment (or failure, or missed expectation) mean about you. Keep listening as we dive further into this concept and how it impacts our ability to set goals, to believe in ourselves, to believe new things about ourselves, and fully heal from trauma and abuse.

Welcome to this week's Christian's Hour broadcast.We've all been in situations or faced circumstances that look absolutely impossible from a human perspective – whether it's disappointing events, a past that we can't do-over, or fears, hurts and habits for which there appears to be no remedy. Jesus said that while some things may look impossible to human beings, with God all things are possible. This month, Gene Appel, the Senior Pastor with the East Side Christian Church in Anaheim, California will be unpacking some ways where “Only God” can make the difference in our lives?Each of us at one time or another has experienced disappointments in life, and it's not unlikely that we will again in the future.The Bible's book of Psalms is a collection of sacred poems, often containing prayers, gathered by God's people over 2500 years ago. One of the things the psalms teach us is how to express our raw, unedited disappointments to God. So here's Gene to dispense with all the polite, positive God-talk and share with us how God can make a difference when disappointments overwhelm us...

This teaching delves into the significance of prayer and intercession, exploring the challenges and disappointments often faced in prayer life. It emphasizes the importance of persistence and endurance in prayer, drawing lessons from biblical examples such as Moses and Elijah. The sermon highlights the need for a deeper commitment to prayer, encouraging listeners to pray through challenges and remain faithful in their requests to God. Real-life testimonies of healing and the dual nature of prayer—both immediate and enduring—are shared to inspire a more profound prayer life.

I liked a lot about Cyberpunk 2077--from the side missions to the combat to the visuals and plenty more-- but the character of Johnny Silverhand and the performance of Keanu Reeves was not one of them. This wouldn't have been a big problem if he wasn't such a crucial part of the main story, but he is and can't help but show up all of the time, so I couldn't help but only like Cyberpunk 2077 when I thought I was going to love it. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day. (And if you haven't already, or are a listener and not a watcher, please like, subscribe, hit the bell, and all that jazz; it may not seem like much, but it goes a long way in helping support the show and site in general.

Amazing Message by Pastor Angel
Disappointment in the search for new continents
What happens when divorce shakes your faith?In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Ayers, who went through a divorce while pregnant, deeply confused, angry at God, and still showing up every morning as a Christian radio host, smiling on air while her heart was breaking behind the scenes.If you've ever felt like you had to hold it together for everyone else while falling apart inside… this conversation is for you.We talk honestly about grief, divorce, faith, anger, shame, and healing—and what it actually looks like to walk with God when you don't feel very “Christian” at all. Hannah shares how God met her in practical, undeniable ways, how community and honesty changed everything, and why real healing only happens when we stop trying to avoid pain and finally face it.This episode isn't just about divorce.It's about loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the moments when you wonder if God is really still good.If you're hurting, isolated, or tired of pretending—you'll find hope here. Not hype. Not platitudes. Real hope.
Not knowing what you want is not a failure — it's a survival skill.” That's why I'm hosting a new workshop: From Survival to Desire: Crafting Your Future Vision This workshop is not about pressure or performance; It's not even about goal-setting. This is a reclamation. Reclaiming your voice, your body, your life. From Survival to Desire Workshop is strategically designed to help you go from feeling disconnected from your desires, direction, or clarity, and relearn how to want—without guilt, fear, or pressure—and translate that into a grounded 1-year and 3-year vision you can start implementing immediately.

Anchored in Psalm 42, the call is to name discouragement honestly and then choose where to place hope. “Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember You” becomes a pattern for moving into a new year: lament without getting stuck, and praise God anyway. There is an acknowledgment that many questions do not get neat answers. Disappointment often reveals what was believed God “owed,” yet the invitation is to bring every “I don't know” to the God who knows and to entrust outcomes to Him.
The end of each year causes most people to reflect on what's happened in the previous 12 months. Amid big changes and maybe some successes, there are big disappointments. Perhaps even disappointment with God? In this passage, during which infant Jesus is presented at the Temple, we learn what faith looks like in the face of disappointment as it's put on display by Simeon, Joseph & Mary, and Anna the prophetess.
What are your favorite memories at Christmas? For me, it's putting up the Christmas tree, and then adding all the lights and ornaments and lighting up our living room.Every December we hang lights that drive out the darkness. But sometimes circumstances bring a darkness.The darkness of feeling lonely while you see everyone else with friends and family.The darkness of grief over lost Christmases with loved ones due to separation or death.The darkness of anxiety of being enough, doing enough, going enough. It's exhausting.The darkness of sin that produces shame and guilt that hang over souls like a thick fog that won't lift.The great news - Jesus conquers and drives out all darkness. Because the incarnation of Jesus is real, the light of the world has come and the darkness has not overcome Him. My darkness, your darkness, all darkness, has to flee in the presence of Jesus.In our Christmas season, we want to explore how the light of Jesus can drive away any darkness that overshadows our lives. So, come and bring all your stuff. You don't have to leave it at home when you come to Jesus. You don't have to pretend. Come and bring your darkness and surrender it and receive his light.Jesus truly is Light in the Darkness - and you will realize that He is Light in Your Darkness.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
