Called to Be Free: Season 3, Episode 39 - "Doubt and Unbelief Can Cost You Years"
In this deeply personal episode of the Called to Be Free Academy podcast, host April Amrine shares her transformative journey through a decade-long wilderness season marked by doubt, heartbreak, and spiritual struggle. Reflecting on a pivotal moment in 2015, April recounts the pain of returning from the mission field—broken, empty, and questioning God’s plan. What followed was ten years of relentless challenges: job losses, failed ventures, marital strain, and a fading connection to faith. Drawing parallels to the Israelites’ 40-year wilderness journey, April unpacks how doubt and unbelief can delay God’s promises, turning an 11-day journey into decades of wandering.
Through raw vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom, April offers hope and practical steps for navigating your own wilderness seasons. Learn how to discern God’s purpose, guard against doubt, and find strength in community. This episode is a powerful reminder that the wilderness is not a dead end but a pathway to growth and God’s faithfulness. Join April for an inspiring message of courage, trust, and the promise of a brighter future.
