In the hardest moments of life, do you ever wonder if God is listening to your cries for help? When you are feeling hopeless, what do you say to God? Rachel Wojo understands what it’s like to pray without receiving the answers you’re longing for. Five years into her marriage, she learned her pastor husband had been having a long-term affair. She then learned her daughter had a devastating diagnosis that would likely cut her life short. In these anguished moments, Rachel’s faith shifted. She was changed from a girl who checked boxes of religious activity, to one who was desperately crying for help from a God who hears. The answers she received were even greater than what she’d hoped for. Rachel Wojo is a speaker, podcaster, and the author of Desperate Prayers . She writes at her popular blog, RachelWojo.com.

When Miss Kay Robertson was a young girl, her grandmother told her one day she might have to fight for her marriage. That seemed crazy to Miss Kay’s young ears, but her grandmother was right. Long before Phil and Kay Robertson and their sons, Willie, Jase, Jep, and Alan became famous for making duck calls and the television show Duck Dynasty, Phil and Kay lived through ten hard years. The story of those early years is being told in a movie called The Blind . Phil and Kay started a family and married as teenagers. While Phil was in college, he began drinking. Soon he was an alcoholic, staying out all night, leaving Kay to raise their three sons. Everyone Kay knew told her to leave him. She knew if he was ever going to change, it would take a miracle.

“I’ve often felt I can be too much, but the more emotive I am, the more God surprises me.” Nigel Masenda learned early on that revealing his heart—tears, frustrations, and all—could open the door to unexpected moments of divine kindness. Growing up in a family and culture where men were often reserved, he felt out of place for expressing his emotions so freely. But when his mother traveled abroad for a funeral and couldn’t return for two long years, loneliness and unanswered prayers pushed him deeper into raw, honest faith. Through caring neighbors, silent prayers, and a tenacious hope, Nigel discovered that embracing vulnerability before God not only shapes our perspective—it can transform our very lives.…

Jinger Duggar Vuolo grew up on television. From the age of 10 until she was 27, her family appeared on TLC’s reality shows 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. As the sixth child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, she grew up in a strict religious system led by a teacher who claimed to speak for God. That belief system contributed to a view of God as an angry judge waiting for her next mistake. Motivated by a fear of rejection, she was driven to be a people pleaser, trying to keep everyone happy all of the time. But as she grew to know and understand God’s love, she realized the loving thing to do was speak the truth. Jinger Duggar Vuolo is the author of Becoming Free Indeed, and People Pleaser: Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectations.

Their story is one of sorrow, faith, and the unlikely survival of their marriage despite overwhelming loss.
