Season 2 Episode 12: The Middle of the Last 5 Years

In this solo episode of The Middle of the Story, Hannah Grace shares a vulnerable reflection from her recent solo beach trip with Jesus. Five years ago, Hannah Grace was at the beach after receiving a negative pregnancy test, overwhelmed by fear, disappointment, and the pressure of wanting life to happen on her timeline. That season was marked by anxiety, over-drinking, striving, and deep fear about what God was doing. Five years later, Hannah Grace found herself at the beach again, taking another pregnancy test… and again, it was negative. But this time, something was different. In this episode, Hannah Grace reflects on the last five years of her life: becoming a mom, walking through an emergency C-section, rebuilding her marriage after addiction, grieving the loss of a friendship, selling her business, and learning to be fathered by God in a deeper way. This is not an infertility story, but it is a story about disappointment, surrender, healing, and learning to trust Jesus when the answer is not what you hoped for. Hannah Grace talks about what it looks like to process disappointment with God instead of numbing it, forcing it, or running from it. She reminds listeners that submission to Jesus is not drowning, it is a life raft. God is still good. His timing can still be trusted. And even when the answer hurts, there is still room to be dangerously hopeful.
