Episode When God’s Plan Doesn’t Look Like Yours | Mac & Kenz w/ For The Girl
What happens when your life looks nothing like the plan?
On this episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni sits down with Mac & Kenz, founders of Delight Ministries and authors of This Wasn’t the Plan, for a vulnerable conversation about feeling stuck, disappointment with God, unanswered prayer, surrender, sin, faith, and what it looks like to keep moving when God does not change your circumstances the way you hoped.
Kenz shares about years of chronic illness and the spiritual crisis that came when she prayed for healing but her symptoms remained. What eventually changed wasn’t immediately her body—it was how she understood God’s presence in her pain.
Mac opens up about reaching a point where life looked incredible externally while internally she felt deeply empty and lonely, eventually moving back into her parents’ basement with no plan for what came next.
Together, they unpack a practical framework from Matthew 7:7:
Ask. Seek. Knock.
Ask Jesus better questions.
Seek evidence of His faithfulness.
And then knock—take the next brave step and trust Him with the door.
They also talk about the hidden places of sin and shame we desperately try to keep locked away from Jesus. Toni shares vulnerably about her own battle with pornography and lust and how inviting God and trusted community into that hidden room became part of her freedom.
If you’ve been thinking:
“God, this wasn’t the plan…”
this conversation is for you.
