Unfulfilled, Yet Fully Known with Alana Enger
In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode, Alana shares her story titled “Unfulfilled,” where she opens up about her lifelong longing to become a mother—a dream that, so far, God has not brought to life.
Through her vulnerability, she invites us into the quiet ache of unanswered prayers, the wrestle with identity, and the deep peace she’s found in Christ.
Alana’s journey is a powerful reminder that even in seasons of waiting or disappointment, we are still fully seen, fully loved, and fully known by God.
“We all have our own version of the same story where God is calling us back to him, sometimes through difficulty, but everybody goes through things that they wish were different.”
~ Alana Enger
