Pastor and author Dane Ortlund joins Dave and Ann Wilson on FamilyLife Today to unpack how to trust God in hard times—when pain feels pointless, prayers seem unanswered, and you’re deciding whether suffering will pull you toward God or push you away.

Christian women and their private sexual struggles rarely make it into the same conversation. Dr. Juli Slattery and educator Dr. Joy Skarka join Dave and Ann Wilson to talk candidly about secrecy, shame, sexual habits, and what it means to be fully known without running for cover.
