Have you ever felt like life didn’t turn out the way you expected—or on the timeline you hoped for?

Maybe you’ve looked around and wondered if you’re somehow behind.

In this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with author and poet Tanner Olson to talk about his book Getting Through What You are Going Through and what it looks like to walk through seasons of uncertainty, waiting, and even grief while still holding onto hope.

Through his own story of infertility, waiting, and ultimately adoption, he reminds us that God is present—not just at the end of our story, but right in the middle of it. If you’re in a season that feels heavy or unclear, this conversation will gently encourage your heart.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • What to do when life feels off track
  • How to trust God’s timing when it’s different than yours
  • Why we shouldn’t just get through hard seasons—but go through them
  • Finding hope in the small, everyday moments

Friend, if you’re feeling behind today, I hope this reminds you—you’re not. God is still writing your story, and He hasn’t forgotten you.

With love,
Rachael
