Holy Ghosted: Trusting God Through Silence, Suffering, and Seasons of Unanswered Prayer
Autumn Miles — teacher, preacher, author, and founder of Autumn Miles Ministry — joins Philip Cameron to unpack her powerful new book, "Holy Ghosted," a deep dive into what it means to trust God when He seems completely silent. Drawing from her own harrowing experience watching her teenage son nearly die multiple times from severe asthma and a spreading skin infection, Autumn shares the raw moment her son asked her, "Why is God not healing me?" — a question that mirrored her own desperate prayers. The conversation centers on the Book of Job, which Autumn calls a book the enemy keeps believers away from precisely because it is "so pregnant with wisdom." She walks through how God says nothing for 38 chapters while Job suffers, and why that silence is not abandonment but invitation — calling Job to a new revelation of God. As Job himself declares, "I've heard of you by the hearing of the ears, but now my eye sees you." Autumn and Philip explore the distinction between faith and trust, concluding that trust is mature faith — the fruit grown only in seasons of unanswered prayer. If you or someone you love is in a Job season right now, "Holy Ghosted" is the resource you need. Find it anywhere books are sold and explore more at autumnmiles.com.

She explains that God is silent for 38 chapters in Job not out of indifference but as a purifying invitation to a deeper revelation of Himself. The conversation distinguishes between faith and trust, arguing that trust is mature faith forged in silence. Autumn notes that Job's breakthrough came only when he stopped complaining and became still — mirroring Jesus's surrender in Gethsemane.
