Whether you attended this year’s retreat or couldn’t join us in person, we invite you to revisit all four teaching sessions with us. This episode is the third installment in our four-part teaching series on John 15:1-9 and features a re-recording of Session 3 from the 2025 Hope Mommies Retreat.
In this session, Kristin Hernandez explores the context of John 15:7 (“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you”) and discusses how to reconcile verses like this with seemingly unanswered prayers. She shares her own journey of struggling with God, His Word, and the discipline of prayer—and ultimately finding comfort and clarity in scripture.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
