17 | From the Pit to Purpose: Grateful to God When You Don’t Like the Plan (Genesis 37-50)

Season 1 Episode 17- What do you do when God gives you an answer you didn’t want? When the dream job, the open door, or the big breakthrough you prayed for never happens — and instead, you end up right back where you thought you’d left behind?In this raw and relatable episode of What the Heaven?!, host Riley Shour opens up about her own “Joseph season” — subbing through freezing Vermont winters while praying for more income and learning to trust God’s timing in real time. Using Joseph’s story from Genesis 37–50, Riley unpacks how every “no” from God can actually be divine redirection, and how manna provision — the kind that feels “just enough” — is still miraculous when it’s sent from Heaven.If you’re struggling with disappointment, delay, or direction, this episode will help you see God’s hand in the middle of your “no.” Because sometimes, the pit is just the pathway to your palace.⭐ Leave a Review: If this episode spoke to your heart, leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — it helps more women find truth and encouragement!📤 Share the Episode: Send this to someone you love who’s in their own “waiting on God” season — you never know how your obedience could bless them.💬 Need Faith Coaching?
