What does it really mean to trust God in hard seasons—when depression, waiting, motherhood struggles, and unanswered prayers collide with faith?

In this honest conversation on the Rybickulous Faith Podcast, author and speaker Melanie Cox shares her journey through depression, long waiting seasons, and the miracle-filled messiness of motherhood. Through personal stories and biblical insight, Melanie reveals how surrendering to God reshaped her identity in Christ, helped her recognize the lies of the enemy, and led her into deeper freedom, gratitude, and purpose.

This episode is for anyone navigating real life, real pain, and real calling—whether you’re deeply rooted in faith or still exploring what it means to trust God when life doesn’t go as planned. Melanie’s story reminds us that our struggles are not signs of failure, but invitations into transformation, healing, and restoration.
