What happens when every door you thought God had opened suddenly slams shut?

In this episode of the Gospel Stories Podcast, we hear part two of Zane Bloom’s journey—a story filled with unexpected interruptions: a surprise pregnancy, a hurricane, a global pandemic, and finally, the medical crisis that brought his family’s plans to a halt. What felt like the death of a dream became the seed of a new calling.

Zane shares with honesty and humility how God used seasons of lament, confusion, and waiting to shape his character and prepare him for a different mission field. Today, as Chief Mobilization Officer at Biblical Ministries Worldwide, Zane helps others navigate the same path he once walked, turning personal pain into empathy and guidance for missionaries in training.

If you’ve ever felt like your life has been derailed or your calling has been delayed, this conversation will encourage you to see God’s hand in the detours and to trust that nothing in your story is wasted.
