Cayla Adkins: When Life Doesn't Turn Out Like We Planned - Part 1

What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you imagined—even when you’ve done the “right” things? In part one of this conversation, we sit down with our dear friend Cayla Adkins—a mom of four, a special needs mom, a special education teacher, a basketball coach, and a woman who has walked through divorce and seen the faithfulness of God firsthand. We talk honestly about the grief that can come when life takes unexpected turns, and the quiet reassurance of knowing that God is still present in it all. Cayla shares about trusting God in seasons that don’t look like the plan, learning to believe that He sees us, wants good things for us, and even wants us to enjoy life again. This episode is especially for the overthinkers—the ones who replay conversations, question decisions, and wonder if they’re “too much.” We talk about how overthinking doesn’t annoy God, and how His presence remains steady even when our minds feel anything but. If you’ve ever felt disappointed, confused, or quietly wondering if God is still with you—this conversation is for you. Part two coming soon.
