Faith It 'Til You Make It
Faith It 'Til You Make It
Welcome to Faith It 'Til You Make It—the podcast for people who love Jesus but also have a tendency to cry in parking lots. Hosted by Rachael (that’s me—hi), this show is for the spiritually curious, the burnt-out believers, and anyone who's ever tried to pray through gritted teeth. I started this podcast because life is messy, faith is complicated, and I got tired of pretending I had it all together. Spoiler: I don’t. Neither do you. That’s why we’re here. Each week, I show up—cracked heart, caffeine in hand—to talk honestly about what it means to walk with God when nothing feels very holy. There will be laughter. There will be oversharing. There may be emotional whiplash. So if you’re over curated perfection and want something real, raw, and occasionally ridiculous... pull up a chair. You’re in messy, blessed company.

When God Cancels Your Plans

When God Cancels Your Plans

Have you ever felt like you were doing exactly what God wanted… only for everything to fall apart?

In this episode of Faith It ’Til You Make It, I’m sharing the story of our annual mission trip to Mexico getting cancelled at the last minute—and the unexpected mix of disappointment, relief, guilt, and confusion that followed.

Because this wasn’t God saying no to something reckless…
this was God saying no to something good.

I talk a lot about trusting God when He calls us to step out in faith—but what about when He closes the door instead?

In this episode, I'm diving into:

  • What it feels like when God says no to your plans
  • Why disappointment can exist alongside faith
  • The tension of holding grief and gratitude at the same time
  • Letting go of guilt when your plans suddenly change
  • How to trust God when His “no” doesn’t make sense

From cancelled mission trips to unexpected family moments, this episode is about learning how to see God not just in the yes, but in the no.

If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment, questioned God’s timing, or wondered what He’s doing when your plans fall apart, this one is for you.

If this episode resonates, share it with someone who might be in a “no” season right now.
