Suffering, Trust in God, and Healing: A Special Needs Parenting Faith Walk

Season 1, Episode 3000:41:48Published September 2, 2025

What do you do with real faith when life turns overnight, and you are living with medical unknowns you never asked for?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Anna to talk about suffering, trust in God, and the long road of special needs parenting. Anna shares the moment she learned something was wrong in pregnancy, the shock of the NICU, and how her perspective shifted as new diagnoses and surgeries kept coming. We talk honestly about fear, exhaustion, and the daily choices that keep you grounded when tomorrow feels uncertain.

Anna also opens up about the scriptures that held her up, including the God who sees, and the steady reminder that the Lord was with Joseph. If you are carrying something heavy, I hope this conversation helps you breathe, pray again, and keep taking the next faithful step.
