This week on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast, I’m joined by Pamela Good, author of He Never Let Go. Pamela’s story is one of deep brokenness, redemption, and hope — a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, God never lets go of our hand.
Once a fitness instructor and small business owner, Pamela’s life took many unexpected turns — from working in a maximum-security prison to returning to school at age 50. But it was through deep personal pain, family struggles, and years of healing that she learned what it truly means to live in the light of God’s love.
💬 Highlights from our conversation:
• Growing up in a home marked by mental illness and rejection — and how God planted seeds of faith early on.
• The moment Pamela hit rock bottom and heard God say, “Get up — I’ll show you the life you were meant to live.”
• How writing He Never Let Go brought healing, restoration, and forgiveness within her family.
• Learning to walk in true freedom and identity as a child of God.
• Encouragement for moms to face their own wounds so they don’t pass them to the next generation.
Pamela reminds us that healing doesn’t come quickly or easily, but when we surrender our pain to God, He writes beauty into every chapter of our story.
