In this episode, I’m joined by my brave, joyful, and deeply resilient daughter, Hadassah. We’re sharing about a season that completely turned our world upside down. What started with sudden sickness led to hospital stays, seven blood transfusions, and a whole lot of fear I never expected to walk through as a mom. But even in that scary place, God showed up. He met us in the laughter, in the pain, in the long nights, and in the jokes Hadassah kept telling to every nurse, doctor, and tech who walked through the door. In this conversation, you’ll hear her side of the story. She’ll tell you what helped her feel brave, how she felt God's presence, and why bringing joy to others helped her get through the hardest moments. One of the most powerful things she says is this: “I think Jesus wants me to remember that I’ll be safe and trust Him in all things.” That simple faith anchored both of us when everything around us felt uncertain. If you’ve ever watched your child suffer, or if you're in the middle of a hard season right now, I pray this episode brings you comfort and hope. As Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Verses to Hold Onto Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Lamentations 3:22–23 – Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness. Matthew 18:3 – Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. May Hadassah’s childlike faith and contagious joy remind you that even in the hardest places, God is near. And sometimes, the loudest form of faith is a smile in the middle of a hospital room.
