I Can't (HE Can)

Sarai Quintana

Life. Love. Christ. I Can’t (HE Can) is a Christian podcast about real life, real struggles, and what it looks like to follow Jesus through all of it. I’m Sarai, and here we talk honestly about faith, relationships, marriage, motherhood, church hurt, waiting seasons, doubt, healing, and the lessons God teaches us along the way. Some episodes are personal conversations and testimonies; others take us directly into Bible study as we unpack Scripture and learn how to apply God’s Word to everyday life. This isn’t about pretending to have perfect faith or all the answers. It’s about growing, asking hard questions, opening the Bible, and learning to trust God even when life gets messy. Whether you’re growing in your faith, questioning it, coming back to Jesus, or simply trying to understand the Bible better—you’re welcome here. Because when I can’t… HE Can.

    Lord, Help My Unbelief: What to Do When Your Faith is Under Fire | Part 3 | Ep 60 - AUDIO ONLY

    “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” — Mark 9:24 What do you do when you believe in God… but your faith is still struggling? In Part 3 of the Faith Under Fire series, we’re getting honest about what happens when our faith is tested by waiting, disappointment, unanswered prayers, fear, doubt, and the trials we never expected. We’ll talk about what it really means to surrender to God, get out of our own way, and trust Him even when His answer isn’t the one we wanted. Through the stories of Job, the father who cried out “Lord, help my unbelief,” the Israelites crossing the Jordan, and Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish virgins, we’ll look at how Scripture teaches us to keep our faith alive when life gets hard. We’ll also talk about something I struggle with myself: believing in God while still having questions. Because having moments of doubt doesn’t mean we stop seeking Him. Sometimes those are the moments when we need to pray even more. So ask yourself: Is my faith dependent on what God gives me? Can I trust Him when I don’t understand what He’s doing? Am I keeping oil in my lamp? What “stones” can I lay down to remind myself of what God has already brought me through? Your faith needs nourishment. Stay in the Word. Stay in prayer. Remember what God has already done. Keep your lamp filled. And when unbelief creeps in, don't be afraid to pray: “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.” Scriptures discussed: Mark 9:14–29 • Job 1:13–22 • Job 2:7–10 • Romans 5:3–5 • James 1:2–4 • Hebrews 11:1 • Romans 10:17 • Joshua 4:1–9 • Matthew 25:1–13 • Hebrews 13:8 If this episode encourages you, subscribe and share it with someone whose faith is being tested right now.

    God, Why am I Still Waiting? | Faith Under Fire, Part 2 | Ep 59 - AUDIO ONLY

    Are you waiting on God and wondering why He hasn’t answered your prayer yet? Waiting on God can test your faith in ways getting an immediate answer never will. When the answer doesn’t come, we start asking: Does God hear me? Does He care? Why is this taking so long? Should I take matters into my own hands? In Part 2 of the Faith Under Fire series, we’re talking about how to trust God’s timing when you’re tired of waiting, how fear can expose the areas where our faith needs strengthening, and what it really means to surrender our plans and say, “Lord, Your will be done.” We’ll look at Abraham and Sarah and what happened when impatience caused them to try to speed up God’s promise. We’ll look at David and Goliath and ask whether we're measuring our giants against our own strength—or God’s. And finally, we’ll go to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, where He gives us one of the greatest examples of surrender: “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” — Matthew 26:39 I also share a very personal testimony about a season when I was tired, angry, afraid, and finally reached the point where I told God, essentially, “Fine, Lord. I surrender.” That experience changed the way I understand faith, waiting, and giving God the outcome I desperately wanted to control. Maybe you're waiting for healing. Maybe you're waiting for an answer. Maybe you're waiting for a relationship, a job, a breakthrough, a change in your family, or a prayer you've prayed over and over again. Whatever your waiting season looks like, ask yourself: Am I trusting God—or trying to rush Him? What could God be protecting me from in the wait? Am I responding with fear or faith? Have I actually surrendered the outcome to Him? Can I still say, “Your will be done,” if His answer looks different from mine? God sees what we cannot see. And sometimes the waiting season isn't just about receiving the thing we're praying for—it exposes what is happening inside of us while we wait. “But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31 🎙️ Scriptures discussed: James 1:2–4 • Genesis 15:1–6 • Genesis 16:1–4 • Genesis 21:1–7 • Isaiah 40:31 • Romans 8:25 • Psalm 27:13–14 • 1 Samuel 17:32–47 • Psalm 56:3–4 • Isaiah 41:10 • 2 Timothy 1:7 • Matthew 26:36–46 • Proverbs 16:9 If you're currently waiting on God, I pray this episode reminds you that you aren't alone. Share it with someone who needs encouragement in their waiting season, and subscribe for more conversations about faith, Jesus, the Bible, Christian living, and trusting God through real life.
