Perspectives Into Practice Podcast
August 19, 2025
In this tender episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my daughter Hadessa joins me to share part of our family’s recent season of suffering and what it looked like to practice trust in God in the middle of it. We talk about the fear of the ER, painful needles, multiple transfusions, and the long hours that can make a hospital room feel so heavy.
You will also hear about healing and faith in small, real ways. A child’s prayer. A joke told to every nurse. A moment of calm in the middle of uncertainty. Hadessa reminds us that real faith can be simple, and that God is close even when our bodies are weak and our hearts are tired.
If you are walking through illness, caring for someone you love, or trying to hold onto hope when you do not have answers, I pray this conversation gives you faith encouragement for today. If you want to share your story or ask a question for a future episode, please contact us.
