Transcript

In this episode of Holy Labor, we explore the complex nature of faith and miracles.

Sometimes, God’s miracles don’t look the way we expect. I share more of the story of my son’s birth—an emergency C-section and NICU stay that was far from the miracle I imagined, but one that saved our lives.

Joined by a Christian counselor and a fellow trauma survivor, we dive into the difficult emotions surrounding spiritual bypassing, the dark night of the soul, and how Emotionally Healthy Spirituality can guide us through life’s hardest moments. Together, we uncover the beauty of God’s unexpected gifts in our trauma journeys.

This episode offers hope for anyone wrestling with faith, doubt, and the mystery of divine miracles. Listen in for a heartfelt, real conversation on faith after trauma.
