Have you ever found yourself on a path you didn’t choose, but it made all the difference in your life? In this episode of Fierce Calling, I’m talking with my friend Lori Ann Wood, a Christian writer and heart failure survivor. We’re talking about wrestling with faith and navigating life’s detours to find the faith we’ve always wanted.

Lori shares her personal experience with heart failure, questioning her faith, and the value of asking questions. The episode encourages listeners who may be going through a difficult season to ask questions and wrestle with faith and offers a framework to do so.

We’re also talking about her book, Divine Detour: The path you’d never choose can lead to the faith you’ve always wanted

The podcast episode also offers encouragement to those who may be going through a difficult season to ask questions and wrestle with a faith worth fighting for.

If even one person’s life is impacted by something we share, say, or write, it was all worth it, amen?

If you’re looking for a powerful conversation and some guidance on navigating difficult seasons, this episode of Fierce Calling is a must-listen.
