Ep. 16 - Why God Feels Silent When You Need Him The Most

Send us Fan MailElizabeth Everett addresses one of the most painful spiritual seasons a believer can face — the silence of God. When prayers go unanswered, when fasting produces no breakthrough, and when heaven feels completely still, the enemy rushes in with lies of rejection, unworthiness, and abandonment. Elizabeth speaks directly to that place and refuses to let those lies go unchallenged.Drawing from her own season of breaking — marked by divorce, health crises, the loss of close friends, and a son's overdose — Elizabeth shares how she kept pressing into God even when she could not hear him. She unpacks the story of Joseph, who endured betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment with no new word from God, yet watched heaven orchestrate every detail behind the scenes. The silence was not punishment. It was preparation.Elizabeth walks through what God is actually doing in the quiet: building character, removing what cannot sustain the promise, healing deep wounds, and aligning kingdom relationships. She challenges listeners to surrender their timeline, take every lying thought captive, and trust that delay is not denial. Rooted in scriptures from Psalms, Isaiah, James, Jeremiah, and Hebrews, this episode is both a spiritual reality check and a call to persevere with faith when nothing around you is moving.The silence is not the absence of God. It is where faith is born.Learn more about: Happy Horizons Children's RanchGrab your copy of Elizabeth’s new book, The Breaking: The Season That Almost Took Me Out and the God Who Didn't, here!Contact Elizabeth Everett:                                                                                               Website: graceinthebreaking.com                                                                          Email: [email protected]                                                                        Instagram: @graceinthebreaking                                                                                YouTube: @GraceintheBreaking Resources & Links:Nashville Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition (NAHT)Educate to Recognize ProgramThe Life Recovery BibleKing James Version BibleAdditional Resources for Parents and EducatorsConnect with the Coalition:NAHT FacebookNAHT Instagram
