Prepared or Punished? When God Feels Like a Setup

from This Might Be Therapy Hosted by Vygrant Prime

What if every hardship wasn’t leading to something greater… but just preparing you to survive more pain? In this raw and soul-baring episode, I ask the question I’ve carried for years: Is God preparing me for purpose—or just breaking me down one crisis at a time? From surviving one brutal divorce to now staring down another, from child support debt to emotional collapse, I unpack the exhaustion of rebuilding my life over and over again. This is for the man who’s been crushed but still gets up. The father who gives everything but gets nothing back. The believer who still calls out to God—even when the silence is deafening. Scripture says we’re not abandoned… but what do we do when it feels like we are? Maybe this isn’t a setup for success. Maybe it’s a calling to stand firm in the fire—until it forgets how to burn us.
