What happens when life doesn't go the way you expected? When the doors keep closing, your plans fall apart, and God keeps asking you to trust Him?

In this episode of An Epiphany with Tiffany, I'm joined by Wesley Farnsworth, author, speaker, preacher, and host of Unmasked with Wesley Farnsworth.

Wesley shares how seasons of unemployment, addiction recovery, and unexpected challenges have shaped his faith and taught him to surrender control. We talk about learning to trust God without knowing the next step, finding freedom from shame, and why our past doesn't have to define our future.

We also discuss the importance of community, being intentional about who we share our stories with, and finding the courage to be vulnerable. I share some of my own experiences with uncertainty, moving back to California, and the process of publishing my first book.

If you're navigating an unexpected season, struggling to let go of control, or wondering what God is doing in your life, I hope this conversation encourages you to keep moving forward in faith.

What happens when the dream finally happens...but it doesn't look anything like you imagined?

Author Wendy Bower spent years dreaming of writing a book. But when she finally signed her publishing contract, she found herself grieving because she'd always imagined experiencing that moment with a husband beside her.

In this episode, Wendy and I talk about pursuing the things God has placed in us even when our lives don't look the way we expected.

We talk about singleness, healing, marriage, identity, and the work God can do in us before another person ever enters the picture. Wendy also shares how her relationship with God changed when she began recognizing His love in everyday things, including something as simple as color.

During one of the lowest seasons after her divorce, Wendy saw a group of purple irises, her favorite color and favorite flower, and experienced them as a personal reminder that God saw and loved her. That moment began a journey of noticing His love through colors, nature, and the world around her.

We also get into the difference between knowing in your head that God loves you and actually knowing it deeply enough to live from it, something both Wendy and I have experienced in our own lives.

And maybe one of the biggest reminders from this conversation:

You don't have to wait for marriage to become who God is calling you to be.

Wendy's book Gratitude Attack is available through Christian book retailers, and you can learn more about Wendy and find her resources at authorwendybower.com.

What does it actually mean to actively wait on God?

For many of us, waiting can feel frustrating, lonely, or uncertain. But what if waiting isn't about standing still? What if it's an invitation to grow, serve, and become the person God is shaping you to be?

In this episode of An Epiphany with Tiffany, Tiffany sits down with Kerry Damiano for a conversation about trusting God's timing, embracing the season you're in, and discovering purpose beyond the milestones we often chase.

Kerry shares stories from her own journey, including decades of serving through pageantry, Scripture memorization, and ministry. Together, they explore what it looks like to surrender control, pursue spiritual growth, and live with joy while waiting on whatever God has next.

Whether you're single, navigating a season of transition, or simply learning to trust God with the unknown, this conversation will encourage you to stop putting your life on hold and start living faithfully today.
