Ep. 033- When You Can’t Feel God: Finding Faith in Divine Silence With Molly Collings

In today’s deeply honest and vulernable episode, Rachel sits down with her dear friend Molly Collings for a conversation about faith, suffering, and what happens when God feels silent. After walking through one of the hardest years of her life—filled with physical challenges, emotional strain, and unexpected trials—Molly found herself in a place she never anticipated: unable to feel the Spirit in the way she always had before. Instead of easy answers, this episode explores the wrestle. Together, Rachel and Molly talk about: What it feels like when heaven seems silent Rebuilding your understanding of God in the middle of pain The concept of “divine silence” and why it’s not a punishment How suffering can actually be an expression of God’s trust Seeing Jesus Christ as a Counselor—not just a comforter The unexpected ways God communicates when traditional ways feel blocked Mental health, faith, and the importance of holistic healing A simple but powerful framework: faith, hope, and charity Molly shares how, even when she couldn’t feel God, He was still reaching her—through people, music, small impressions, and new tools she never would have discovered otherwise. This episode is for anyone who: Feels like their prayers are going unanswered Is navigating depression, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion Is questioning where God is in their pain Wants a deeper, more resilient kind of faith If you’ve ever wondered why God is being silent, this conversation will meet you there.
