Finding God & Supporting Friends in Seasons of Waiting and Infertility with Kate Olsen

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Kate Olsen to talk about infertility, waiting, and what it looks like to trust God when His timing doesn’t match our expectations.

We talk about what it means to feel clearly prompted to start trying for a baby… and then walk through month after month of unanswered prayers. Kate shares her experience with unexplained infertility, how this season has challenged and deepened her faith, and what she’s learned about a God who is not results-focused, but with us in the process. We also talk about seasons of waiting, reconciling obedience with silence, and how to hold onto hope when it isn’t tied to an outcome. And for those who want to love people in this season well, we share honest, practical advice on how to support friends walking through infertility—what helps, what hurts, and how to show up with compassion.

This conversation is for anyone walking through a season of waiting—whether for a baby, healing, clarity, or something else entirely. And if you love someone navigating infertility, I hope this episode helps you know how to stand beside them with more presence, empathy, and grace.
