The past several weeks have been a lot! Multiple car accidents (yes, including a deer collision), parenting chaos and disappointments that hit me hard. I found myself frustrated, exhausted, and honestly asking God: “Why is this happening?”

But in the middle of the mess, the Lord impressed something powerful on my heart:

“I’m not trying to destroy you. I’m trying to weaken you.”

In this episode, I sit down with Brenna Blain for one of the most honest conversations I’ve had on the podcast. We talk about what it really looks like to follow Jesus while still battling mental illness, trauma, and temptation. Brenna shares her powerful story from growing up in church as a pastor’s kid, abuse, same-sex attraction, and deep seasons of depression.

We talk about what it means to suffer well, how motherhood can actually disciple us, and why God’s goodness doesn’t always look like the comfort we expected - yet we hold fast to the promise that God heals always, even if it’s not on this side of eternity. If you’ve ever asked, “Can I still love Jesus and feel this broken?” this episode is for you.

In this continuation of last week’s episode, my mom, Ms. Yvette and I move past trials we’ve faced together and into the transformation we’ve witnessed. We talk about cultivating a lifestyle of prayer, learning to listen for God’s voice, and how true healing happens when we yield to His presence.

Tune in to hear how the Lord has taught us both to walk in humility, steward our relationship differently, and grow together in grace.

Whether you're longing for guidance in your walk with God, or simply a reminder that change is possible through Him, I pray this episode draws you closer to the heart of the Father.
