Always Good
Always Good
Emily Brumwell
Life is full of hard things that don’t feel good… walking through dark seasons of broken family, foster care, and miscarriage has cemented this reality. Can God’s goodness be real even in the midst of these seasons? So many people have walked through brutally hard and even bad things, and yet they are not without hope… in fact, they are still praising God for being good. It might sound crazy because none of these things are good. But these people are still seeing how good God is... and they are still saying “He is always good”.

God's Goodness in Broken Dreams

I’ve known Alyssa for a long time, but she has lived through her trials and triumphs with such grace and quiet peace that I didn’t know how heartbreaking her story was until very recently when she shared it with me. I was so blessed by her willingness to share how God is good even in the midst of broken dreams.

In this episode, I talk with my mentor and friend, Jamie about trusting God’s posture towards us when His plan doesn’t make sense to us. Jamie challenged my view of God’s goodness last summer and was able to speak into my life through this recent season of trial because she understands so much of how I think. She has walked through seasons of infertility, failed missions, foster care, and anxiety and has so much wisdom to share.
