But Where was God? Recovery from Infidelity & Church Hurt
When betrayal shatters your world—especially within the church—it’s natural to ask, “But where was God?” In this honest and vulnerable episode, we talk about the spiritual confusion, anger, and silence that often follow infidelity and ministry-related betrayal.
If you’ve been left reeling from broken trust in your marriage or within your faith community, this conversation is for you. Together, we’ll explore what Scripture says about suffering, how to be honest with God in your pain, and why questioning His presence doesn’t disqualify your faith.
Whether you’re a pastor’s wife, ministry leader, or someone carrying betrayal trauma, you’re not alone. There is space for your grief and your healing. There’s a way forward—even when God feels distant.
