What Are We Promised By God: Healing, Happiness, and A Spouse?

What exactly has God promised us… and what expectations have we created on our own? This week on The Pastors’ Hangover, the team unpacks one of the most misunderstood areas of Christian faith: the promises of God. Scripture tells us God promises His goodness, His presence, heaven, peace, and strength — but what about the specifics we pray for? The job. The house. The spouse. The breakthrough. The timeline. Are those promises… or hopes we’ve attached God’s name to? In this episode, we dive into the questions so many believers wrestle with:  • How do I know if God actually promised me something, or if it’s just what I want?  • What do I do when nothing is happening and it feels like God is silent?  • Are we promised marriage, or are we promised something deeper?  • What’s the difference between waiting on God and waiting on the blessing I’m chasing?  • If things get hard in marriage — even to the point of physical conflict — how do you know whether to keep waiting or walk toward safety? We talk about disappointment, delayed expectations, and the moments where life feels like it contradicts everything you believed God said. And we ask the big question: What if you’re waiting on something God never actually promised? Whether you're questioning your timeline, clinging to hope, or trying to discern God’s voice in the middle of uncertainty, this conversation will help you anchor your faith in what’s true, not just what’s desired.
