What happens when grief has no funeral -- when you're mourning something that never existed? Pastor and author Drew Hensley joins Shaun Tabatt to discuss his book Invisible Grief and the hidden pain of unfulfilled hopes, infertility, and good desires left unrealized. Drew and his wife Laura faced a devastating infertility diagnosis while planting a church in Seattle. What followed was a three-year journey through grief that lacked the social permission, the markers, and the community recognition that traditional grief receives -- a grief that is, in Drew's words, invisible. In this conversation, Drew unpacks what invisible grief actually is, how it differs from traditional grief, and why so many people are suffering in silence without a name for their experience. He shares the biblical framework of lament, the difference between languishing and trusting God in the darkness, and practical rhythms for healing -- including the role of community, therapy, and the promises of Scripture. Featuring stories from the book that include: infertility, abandonment, brain tumors, physical disability, and unfulfilled longing for marriage and family.

What do you do when your story feels too broken — too painful — for God to redeem? Mary DeMuth has written 53 books, worked as a literary agent, and spent decades helping people find freedom through their stories. But her new book, Restory Your Life: How Jesus Reframes Your Past, Rewrites Your Present, and Redefines Your Future, may be the one she was always meant to write. In this conversation, Mary opens up about her own journey — from a childhood marked by sexual abuse and abandonment, to meeting Jesus under an evergreen tree at 15, to a decade-long dark night of the soul, to a supernatural healing encounter in France. She shares why healing is rarely instant, why our wounds almost always require a relational cure, and why the most joyful part of the Christian life just might be walking alongside someone else through their pain. We talk about how to get unstuck when your story has you pinned down, what to do when you can't afford a counselor, how our father wounds shape our view of God, and the daily practices that can help you begin to see God's fingerprints in even the hardest chapters of your life. If you've ever felt like you were running from your past — or that your story was just too messy for God — this episode is for you.

Why does revival so often begin with people no one would ever expect? In this episode, Shaun Tabatt sits down with Pulitzer Prize–nominated investigative journalist and bestselling author Troy Anderson to explore a recurring pattern found throughout history and Scripture: God using unlikely, imperfect, and often controversial individuals to spark moments of spiritual awakening.

This conversation touches on faith, leadership, revival, and the tension between institutional stability and transformational change—challenging listeners to reconsider how awakening begins and who it comes through. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode invites thoughtful reflection on leadership, belief, and the role individuals play during pivotal moments in history.
