97. When the Wicked Seem to Win: Holding Faith in the Face of Injustice
The Happy Family Coach Podcast - Break Generational Cycles of Dysfunction, Heal Past Wounds, Transform Your Faith, Learn Relationship Skills, Practical Parenting Strategies, and Whole Person Wellness
What do you do when people who caused real harm appear to thrive—
while you’re left carrying the cost?
What happens to faith when justice feels delayed, silence feels loud,
and doing the right thing feels painfully expensive?
In this deeply honest and trauma-aware episode, I walk slowly through Psalm 73, a psalm written for believers who are weary, wounded, and wrestling with injustice. Together, we name the pain of watching the wicked seem to prosper, explore why our longing for justice is so deeply rooted in the heart of God, and discover how God’s presence steadies us when answers don’t come quickly.
This episode is especially for those who have experienced:
spiritual abuse or betrayal
church hurt or abuse of authority
delayed justice and unresolved pain
envy, comparison, or faith under strain
the temptation toward cynicism, hardness, or self-protection
Rather than offering platitudes or rushing healing, Psalm 73 invites us into something quieter—and stronger: nearness to God that anchors the soul while we wait for justice.
I can't wait to hear what you think about todays episode!
