Micole and Bethany Wallace When Church Hurt Meets Radical Hope

Now Playing
About this episode

What happens when church hurt, stage IV cancer, and deep theological reconstruction collide with an unshakable conviction that God is better than we've been told? In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Micole and Bethany Wallace share their remarkable journey—from serving fourteen years as worship pastors, to losing the ministry they thought would be home forever, to discovering Restoration City, walking through reconciliation with former friends, and facing Bethany's stage IV breast cancer diagnosis. Together they explore union with Christ, emotional healing, the impact of trauma on the body, the restoration of relationships, and the radical trust that grows when we stop pleading with God and begin to rest in His unwavering goodness. It's a conversation about worship, healing, forgiveness, hope, and the long game of love that reminds us reconciliation is not just possible—it's at the very heart of the gospel.
