  • The Power of Prayer in Life's Darkest Moments with Rachel Wojo

    The Power of Prayer in Life's Darkest Moments with Rachel Wojo
    Feb 25 2026

    What do you do when the miracle you’ve prayed for never comes?

    In this honest and powerful episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Rachel Wojo to talk about praying through heartbreak, anger, and unimaginable loss. After walking through 22 years of caring for her daughter Taylor, who suffered from a rare metabolic disorder known as Sanfilippo syndrome, Rachel faced every parent’s worst fear—and found that God was still present in the pain.

    She shares about the years of pleading with God for healing, and the raw anger she brought to Him in prayer. Whether you’re navigating grief, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or wondering if God is still good in the middle of your circumstances, this episode will remind you that your prayers are not in vain—and that sometimes the miracle is a transformed heart.

    Meet Rachel Wojo

    Rachel Wojo is a bestselling author, speaker, and host of Untangling Prayer Podcast. After caring for her daughter Taylor for 22 years through a rare degenerative disorder, Rachel became passionate about helping others experience God’s presence in suffering. Through her new book Desperate Prayers, she encourages women to bring every emotion—anger, confusion, heartbreak—honestly before the Lord. Her story is a powerful testimony of faith refined through grief.

    In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
    1. Why it’s okay to bring your anger and “why” questions to God
    2. How God often changes our hearts even when He doesn’t change our circumstances
    3. What it looks like to experience a miracle that doesn’t match your expectations
    4. How helping others in their pain can actually accelerate your own healing

    How This Episode Will Encourage You

    If you’ve ever felt disappointed by God… if grief catches you off guard in the middle of Target… if you’re afraid you’ll forget how much you need Him when life feels “good” again, this conversation will gently call you back to truth.

    You’ll be reminded that suffering can tether you to Jesus, that desperate prayers are an invitation into deeper intimacy, and that nothing—not height, depth, grief, or unanswered prayers—can separate you from the love of God.

    Living with A Promised Land Mindset with Heidi Lee Anderson
    Feb 18 2026

    What if the walls in front of you aren’t proof that God has abandoned you, but evidence that He’s inviting you to trust Him deeper?

    In this powerful and hope-filled episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Heidi Lee Anderson to talk about what it looks like to follow God when life feels anything but easy. From a cancer diagnosis at 23 to lingering fears, unanswered questions, and the ongoing battle for peace, Heidi shares how God met her in the waiting—and how He still meets us when the “Promised Land” feels hard-won. She opens up about fear, faith, and learning to trade the lie that life should be effortless for the truth that Jesus has already overcome. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, exhaustion, or a season that feels like constant battle, this episode will remind you that God is still writing your story—and He is faithful to finish it.

Heidi is passionate about helping women trade lies for truth and walk in the freedom and peace Jesus promises.

    1. The difference between feeling fear and becoming fearful, and how to stop anxiety from defining you
    2. How to navigate fear, anxiety, and uncertainty without letting them define or control you
    3. What it looks like to trade the lie “life should be easier by now” for the truth that Jesus has already overcome
    4. How God uses the hardest seasons of our lives to grow our faith and expand our spiritual territory
    5. Why you can feel afraid without becoming afraid, and how that shift changes everything
    6. Remembering what God has done in the past can give you the courage to keep going today
