Ep. 07 | Forgotten by God: Grief, Doubt, and Hope w/ Ben & Jessi Bock
Have you ever walked through a season so dark, you wondered if God had turned His back on you?
Where your prayers seemed to bounce off the ceiling, your heart felt crushed under the weight of loss, and the silence from heaven only seemed to grow louder?
Missionaries Ben & Jessi Bock know exactly what that feels like.
In this episode of The Story-Driven Ministry Podcast, they open up about years marked by grief, spiritual burnout, and a haunting feeling that God had left them behind. Their story is raw, honest, and deeply human—and it offers a lifeline to anyone who has felt abandoned by God.
Why Their Story Matters for Ministry Leaders
Ben & Jessi’s story reminds us that ministry leaders are not immune to doubt, grief, or feeling spiritually dry. And yet, these seasons don’t have to be the end of faith—they can become the soil where deeper trust and empathy grow.
Their honesty also underscores something I talk about often: the power of story to connect, heal, and inspire. By telling the real story—not just the polished highlight reel—they invite others into deeper connection and allow God to use even the painful chapters for His glory.
If you’ve felt forgotten by God, I hope their story reminds you—you are not alone.
