What To Do When Life Disappoints You | Stoop Theology S1 Ep14

Stoop Theology S1 Episode 14: What To Do When Life Disappoints You   Disappointment finds all of us. A relationship that didn't work out, a prayer that seemed to go unanswered, a season of life that looked nothing like what you hoped for. So what do we actually do with it?  In this episode of Stoop Theology, I sit down with my friend Drew Hyun, author of Beautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful, to talk honestly about disappointment. We dig into why gratitude and grief aren't opposites, how Emotionally Healthy Discipleship reframes our unmet expectations, and what it looks like to stay tender instead of hardening when life doesn't go as planned. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to be disappointed, or how to move forward without pretending the disappointment away, this conversation is for you.   Guest: Drew Hyun  Buy Drew's book "Beautiful, Disappointing, Hopeful: How Gratitude, Grief, and Grace Reflect the Christian Story"   Stoop Theology is a series rooted in honest, thoughtful conversations about real-life questions. From faith and doubt to culture, justice, relationships, and everyday struggles, we explore what it looks like to wrestle with life and belief—like neighbors talking it out on a stoop. Whether you’re deeply rooted in faith, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Stoop Theology is a space for meaningful dialogue about questions that matter.   Hosted by Jordan Rice
