Regular listeners of this podcast are already familiar with disappointment.

This week, it's not just about the banter and the hosts, though. We're studying stories of disappointment in the Bible. What can we learn from those who felt let down by God? How do we keep faith in a God who doesn't seem to want to do good in our lives?

Layla Shahmohammedi and Rob Gonzalez join regulars Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind to share their own experiences of faith an disappointment.
