Have you ever felt like your prayers were met with silence? Like God wasn’t listening, even when your heart ached for an answer?

Welcome to our series, 'Strength despite the pain', where we explore stories of women who went through pain and suffering in the Bible.

In today’s episode of Not Defined by Endo, we dive into the powerful story of Hannah, a woman who knew the pain of waiting, longing, and unanswered prayers. Despite years of heartbreak, she remained steadfast in faith—and God’s answer came at the perfect time.

Hannah’s journey speaks to all of us who have experienced and are still experiencing deep sorrow, infertility, chronic illness, or seasons of waiting. Through her story, we’ll explore:

✔️ The emotional toll of longing and unanswered prayers
✔️ How Hannah’s unwavering faith turned her sorrow into strength
✔️ Encouragement for those facing silent seasons in their lives
✔️ A heartfelt prayer for endurance and hope

If you've ever wondered whether God hears your cries, this episode is for you. 💛

Today, we carry on listening to Kailey and Betsy’s stories and how they have overcome all they have been through in their diagnoses of endometriosis and infertility. If you didn’t listen to Part 1, please click on the previous episode to do so.

Kailey & Betsy host the Not Cha Momma Podcast where they talk about endometriosis, adenomyosis, infertility, & childlessness in their 30s. I particularly love how they talk about being child-free, and not child LESS. And the very important message that not having a child does not make you less. They regularly share insight into their daily lives with chronic illnesses and their pursuit to redefine worth and enjoyment of their kid-free lives. They are also on Instagram @notchamommapod.
