Episode 1: "This Isn't How It Was Supposed to Go"

An honest look at the pain of failed plans and the freedom found in realizing there isn’t just one "right" choice for your life.

When life doesn’t go according to plan, it often feels like a personal failure, as if being smarter or more spiritual would have changed the outcome. This episode explores the weight of carrying quiet questions when doors close and the future feels off-track. By deconstructing the myth of the "perfect path," we move away from the idea of God as a micromanager of pain and toward the reality of a presence that walks with us through the mess. It is an invitation to stop decoding a secret plan and start learning how to stay present in the life you actually have.

J'aime ceux et celles qui ne sont pas les héros bien en vue, mais dont la contribution est tellement importante et nécessaire. Dans l'émission de cette semaine, je vous parle de l'un d'entre eux. On l'appelait : le fils d'encouragement !
