When God Doesn’t Answer the Way We Hoped: Finding Faith and Purpose in Infertility with Angela Mackey
What do you do when you know God can give you the deepest desire of your heart — but He doesn’t?
On today’s episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown sits down with Angela Mackey, author of Difficult to Conceive: A Godly Perspective for the Road Ahead.
Angela knows the heartbreak of infertility deeply … the shattered dreams, the wrestling with God, and the quiet ache that lingers in unseen places. After losing two babies and her ability to conceive naturally, Angela embarked on a journey that tested her faith and ultimately led her into a deeper, more intimate relationship with God than she ever imagined possible.
In this honest and tender conversation, Angela shares:
- How she learned to loosen her grip on her own dreams and trust God with her deepest longings
- The power of wrestling with God rather than pulling away
- How to combat the “you are alone” lie so many women believe in their pain
- Practical and compassionate encouragement for anyone walking through suffering — no matter what it looks like
Angela reminds us that God collects every tear, wastes nothing, and meets us tenderly in the darkest valleys. Her story is not just for women facing infertility, but for anyone struggling to understand God’s silence and longing to find purpose in their pain.
Pull up a chair and join us for this heartfelt and hope-filled conversation that will leave you encouraged and reminded that you are never alone.
