A proposito di questo titolo

This is a place for those who have been hurt, confused, overlooked, broken, and wondered, “Why did this have to happen?”. Here we find meaning in the moments that tried to break us. What felt like a burden was really an assignment, and every season that stretched us, was shaping us. Nothing that happened was random—it had purpose.

Each episode leans into real life: betrayal, heartbreak, loss, disappointment, waiting, and unexpected pain. Yet, through every story, we uncover the same truth—God was present, intentional, and working behind the scenes. The things we thought were setbacks were actually setups. The battles were building us. The cross wasn’t a mistake; it was part of the mission.

This podcast invites listeners to reflect, heal, and grow. We explore how Jesus was crossed on purpose, and how our own lives echo that same pattern: pressure with a purpose, pain with a promise, and purpose hidden in the process. We don’t avoid the hard questions—we walk through them together with faith, honesty, and hope. If life has ever cut deep, if you’ve ever been crossed by people you trusted, or if your journey has felt heavy and confusing, this space reminds you:

You weren’t abandoned. You were assigned. There was purpose in every step.

Welcome to the conversation.
