In this deeply tender episode of Your Joyful Order Podcast, Leslie sits down with Carmen Meurer to talk about the sacred and often painful space of waiting on God—especially in seasons marked by heartbreak, loss, and unanswered prayers. Carmen shares pieces of her journey through family estrangement, the grief that comes with it, and the ways God has met her in the wilderness.

This conversation is for anyone walking through a difficult waiting season—whether it’s estrangement, broken relationships, loss, or simply trusting God for what’s next. In this episode, we discuss: • What faith can look like in the middle of unanswered prayers • Navigating grief, rejection, and deep emotional pain • Finding God’s presence in seasons of silence • The importance of surrender when outcomes are out of your control • Rebuilding hope and joy in unexpected seasons Sometimes waiting isn’t wasted—it’s where God does some of His deepest work.

    #126- When Life Feels Like Rejection from God: How to Rebuild After Loss with Dawn Mann Sanders

    Send us Fan Mail There are seasons in life that don’t just shake you… they completely change everything. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dawn Mann Sanders to talk about what it really looks like to walk through loss that feels like rejection, not from people, but from the life you believed God had for you. After the sudden passing of her husband, Dawn found herself asking the question so many of us ask in hard seasons: “What now?” What she discovered in that place became the foundation for how she rebuilt her life, and how she now helps other women do the same. This episode is for the woman who feels stuck in grief, questioning God, or unsure how to move forward when life doesn’t look the way she expected. 💛 A Word for You If you feel like your life has taken a turn you didn’t sign up for… if you’ve been holding questions you don’t know how to ask out loud…You are not forgotten. What feels like rejection may actually be redirection into something deeper than you could have imagined. 👤 About Dawn Dawn Mann Sanders is an author, Bible teacher, and Restoration Architect who helps women rebuild after catastrophic loss. After losing her husband suddenly in 2011, she discovered what she calls God’s Creative Process- a framework rooted in Genesis 1 that became the blueprint for rebuilding her life. Today, she leads women through that same process through her book When Your World Ends and her Creative Restoration Movement. 🔗 Connect with Dawn Website: https://dawnmannsanders.com/gods-creative-process-quiz/ Book: When Your World Ends: God’s Creative Process for Rebuilding a Life 🎧 Love This Episode?

In this honest and deeply meaningful conversation, Dawn Marruccino shares her journey of serving over two decades behind the scenes in ministry leadership—and what happened when that role began to shift.

Through that season, she didn’t just rebuild her career—she rebuilt her identity, her voice, and her life.
