S2. Ep. 10 w/ Meredith Hancock

Treasured & Loved — Finding God Through Grief, Healing, and Quiet Whispers with Meredith Hancock In this deeply heartfelt episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with local creative entrepreneur and faith-driven community advocate Meredith Hancock to discuss the powerful journey that led her from heartbreak and uncertainty into a deeply personal relationship with God. Meredith shares the life-altering moments that shaped her faith: * surviving a devastating rollover accident * losing both her grandmother and father within months * walking through years of grief and caring for her mother through mental illness and dementia * and ultimately encountering God through dreams, prayer, worship, and quiet moments of surrender. One of the most moving moments in the episode comes when Meredith describes hearing God whisper: 👉 “I was always with you.” From mission trips in India and Bolivia to local outreach work serving women in transitional housing, Meredith’s story is a reminder that God often works through the broken places in our lives to reveal purpose, compassion, creativity, and healing. This conversation is gentle, vulnerable, deeply spiritual, and filled with hope. 🎁 The gift of this episode: The reminder that God still speaks — through people, nature, dreams, stillness, and quiet whispers — if we are willing to slow down enough to listen.   💡 Lessons Learned from This Episode * God is often working in our lives long before we recognize Him * Trauma and grief do not disqualify you from God’s love * You do not have to “have it all together” to come to God * Community and prayer are essential during healing * God frequently speaks through stillness, nature, dreams, and gentle nudges * Compassion and empathy are spiritual gifts that can transform lives * Outreach starts with simple acts of kindness and availability * Creative gifts are often part of our God-given calling * God removes labels — He does not define us by our brokenness * Making room for stillness allows us to hear God more clearly 🎁 The Gift of This Episode The gift of this episode is the understanding that: God meets us in our deepest pain — not after we’re healed, but while we’re still hurting. Meredith’s story reminds us that healing is not about perfection. It’s about surrender. And often, the moments that feel the darkest become the very places where God reveals Himself most clearly.   ____________________________________________________________________ WHO IS MEREDITH HANCOCK?

From Self-Inflicted Suffering to Surrender — Addiction, Identity & Radical Redemption with Jeff Hambrecht This episode is not about a fall from grace. It’s about what happens when you finally stop outrunning God.

Jeff shares how his struggles weren’t caused by what happened to him — but by what he refused to face. From losing his identity after injury… to becoming addicted to painkillers… to living a double life… to being served divorce papers and facing the possibility of losing his children… Everything changed in a single moment of surrender. Not when life got easier. But when he finally said: “I can’t do this without You.” What follows is a story of radical obedience, supernatural healing, and rebuilding a life from nothing — grounded fully in faith. This episode will challenge the way you think about: * responsibility * identity * addiction * and what it really means to surrender 💡 Lessons Learned * Not all suffering is inflicted on you—some of it is created by what you avoid * Identity tied to performance will collapse when the performance is taken away * Addiction isn’t always visible—it often hides behind success * You can look “fine” externally and be completely broken internally * Rock bottom isn’t always destruction—it can be divine intervention * God doesn’t always remove the struggle—He walks you through it * Obedience unlocks doors faster than intention ever will * You don’t need a perfect past to step into purpose * Vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the doorway to impact * When God calls, delay creates distance 🎁 The Gift of This Episode The gift of this episode is radical responsibility + hope.
