Becoming Her Through Grace & Grit

How Disability Strengthened My Relationship With God

Disability changed the pace of my life—but it also changed the depth of my faith. In this episode, I share how chronic illness and physical limitations reshaped the way I relate to God. When your body can’t keep up with the life you once had, faith stops being theoretical. It becomes survival. It becomes surrender. It becomes the quiet conversation you have with God in hospital rooms, during long nights, and in moments when strength runs out. This episode explores what happens when productivity disappears, independence looks different, and you’re forced to depend on God in ways you never expected. I talk about learning to pray differently, finding God in weakness, and discovering that intimacy with Him often grows in the places where our control ends. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay close to God when your body feels broken or your life looks different than you planned, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the greatest spiritual growth doesn’t come through strength—it comes through surrender. In this episode we talk about: • Faith when your body feels unreliable • Letting go of independence without shame • Finding God in hospital rooms and hard seasons • How weakness can deepen spiritual intimacy This is a reminder that even in limitation, God is still forming you. You are still becoming her.

Learning to Love the New Normal (When You Didn’t Choose It)

Nobody prepares you for how much grief lives inside the phrase new normal. It sounds gentle. Almost hopeful. But it usually means something ended—and you didn’t get a vote. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to live after life shifts because of illness, loss, or unanswered prayers. The quiet grief of the body you had. The routines that disappeared. The version of faith that had to change when productivity was no longer possible. This isn’t about pretending the new normal is beautiful. It’s about learning how to stay present inside it. We talk about surrender without shame, trusting God when healing isn’t immediate, and how love for your life can grow again—even when it looks nothing like what you planned. If you’re grieving a life you didn’t get to keep, this episode is for you.

Episode 2: Faith When Your Body Fails You

When your body stops cooperating, faith gets very real. In this episode, I talk honestly about what happens when illness, disability, and unanswered prayers force you to grieve the body you once had. We explore how faith shifts when productivity is no longer possible, when healing is slow—or incomplete—and when dependence feels more like loss than strength. This is a conversation about trusting God while sitting in limitations, learning humility without shame, and discovering that faith isn’t proven by what you can do—but by who you lean on when you can’t do much at all. If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your body, frustrated by your prayers, or unsure how to believe when your strength is gone, this episode is for you. You’re not weak. You’re becoming. 🎧 Listener note: This episode includes discussion of chronic illness, disability, medical treatments, and grief.

Before I Spoke Again: A Becoming Her Prequel
