Ep. 58: When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned: Re-scripting Your Story with Judith Sabbert

What do you do when life turns out nothing like you imagined? In this conversation on the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose sits down with Judith Sabbert, who shares her story of walking through divorce, a seven-year battle with breast cancer, the devastating loss of her son, and countless unexpected turns she never saw coming. Yet through every heartbreak, Judith discovered something powerful: God was still writing her story. Rather than allowing suffering to define her, Judith learned how to “re-script” her life—embracing faith, surrender, gratitude, and the unexpected ways God reveals His presence in our darkest moments. From powerful stories of “Godwinks” and signs of comfort after unimaginable grief to wisdom on forgiveness, surrender, and learning to move forward when life falls apart, Judith offers hard-earned truths that will encourage anyone navigating disappointment, loss, or uncertainty. Together, we discuss: -Recognizing “Godwinks” and signs of God’s presence -The role of community during suffering -Why surrender became a turning point in healing -Learning the power of forgiveness -How gratitude can sustain us in difficult seasons -What it means to “believe and you will see” If you've ever found yourself grieving the life you thought you'd have, this conversation is for you.

Ep. 56: From Running Drugs to Running to Jesus: How God Uses Our Worst Decisions for Good

In this episode of Eternal Echoes, host Katharine Rose sits down with Bill Gray—a husband of nearly 45 years, father of six, grandfather of 21, and a man whose life was radically transformed by the grace of God. From a rebellious teenage lifestyle filled with drugs and self-reliance to living a double life after coming to faith, Bill shares how he tried to hold onto both worlds—until everything came crashing down. An arrest in Florida and time in prison became the moment that changed everything. Bill opens up about the quiet conviction of the Holy Spirit, the unexpected peace he experienced in prison, and the powerful restoration of his relationship with his parents after years of distance. Through it all, you’ll hear how God pursued him—not with condemnation, but with grace. And how even the consequences of his choices became the very tools God used to reshape his life. Raised in the Catholic faith, Bill also shares about learning the difference between religion and relationship, and discovering that life is ultimately not about us—but about God’s greater purpose. This conversation will challenge you, encourage you, and remind you that no one is too far gone—and that God can use every part of your story for good.
