What do you do when things don’t go your way?
If you’re being honest…
Do you ever wonder:
Is this my fault?
Is this God’s fault?
Why isn’t He fixing this?
In this episode of My Southern Godmother, Jena and Debbie have a real conversation about what it looks like to wrestle with God — without walking away from Him.
From Debbie’s emotional week thinking her 97-year-old mother was about to pass… to Jena admitting she sometimes feels like a “grumbling Israelite,” this episode dives into the tension between faith and frustration.
Together, they unpack Philippians 3 and explore:
- Why Paul called all his accomplishments “rubbish”
- The difference between shallow roots and deep roots
- Why we’re quick to blame God when things go wrong (but slow to credit Him when they go right)
- What it means to know Christ as the “surpassing greatness”
- How to stay tender toward God in seasons of suffering
If you’ve ever felt disappointed, confused, or even angry with God… this conversation is for you.
