35 | How I Found Strength Through Faith When I Wasn't Strong At All

Have you ever felt completely drained and helpless, wondering where you’d find the strength to keep going? I have. In this episode, I open up about one of the scariest moments of my life — when I was in the hospital fighting a severe infection that left me weaker than ever. I share how, in the midst of that pain and fear, I experienced a surprising "God wink." It came in the form of a small heart-shaped sign that reminded me I wasn’t alone and that God was with me in my suffering.

Join me for this heartfelt conversation about finding hope when you feel hopeless. It’s a story of faith growing even in a hospital bed, and of discovering strength through faith when I had none of my own left. If you’re in a tough season or know someone who is, this episode will encourage you to see that even in our weakest moments, God’s love is at work. Come be uplifted and reminded that you are never alone on your healing journey.

🙏🏻Scripture:

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. And he took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in the ashes.

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die.” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. Job 2:7-10
