When the wind howls and the lights go out, what keeps us on our feet? We open our hearts to the reality of Hurricane Melissa’s impact across Jamaica and the Caribbean and trace a path from shock to steady ground. Our focus is simple and strong: God as a firm foundation, resilience as a shared practice, and hope that breathes even when the roof is gone.

We begin by naming the big question: how do you remain standing before, during, and after a storm that seems set to destroy you? the hymn that anchors so many of us—On Christ, the solid rock we stand—we explore how scripture steadies the inner life when circumstances unravel. We also face the hard tension head-on: some prayed and still suffered loss. Rather than offering clichés, we hold space for grief and witness to the mercies that did arrive, including lives spared and neighbors showing up.

What moved us most were the ordinary acts of courage and care: people sharing phones at roadside signal spots, cooking for others, and checking on those marooned without power. That is resilience made visible. You’ll hear practical ways to live this out—short prayers when words fail, small steps that restore and simple encouragements you can offer when someone can’t find a song to sing. Along the way, we invite you to remember your own archive of survival and pair it with a grounded trust in Christ’s unchanging presence.

This conversation blends faith, empathy, and practical guidance for anyone facing a physical, emotional, spiritual, or financial storm. If you’ve felt shaken, not destroyed, you are not alone. Press play for comfort, clarity, and a gentle push toward community and courage. If the message strengthens you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope today, and leave a review to help others find this encouragement.

Today's conversation with Jodian is so heartwarming and packed with insights that can help to heal and propel you into the journey of surrendering all to Christ.

What if the doorway to your purpose sits on the other side of grief, obedience, and a leap you never planned to take? We sit down with author, life coach, and NLP practitioner Jodian Hutchinson to explore a courageous journey from rejection and loss to healing, clarity, and a faith that moves her life forward. Her testimony is raw and hope-filled: writing became therapy, obedience relocated her from Jamaica to Florida, and surrender turned broken moments into fresh color outside the crayon box.

We unpack the identity shift from “black sheep” to chosen, and how telling the truth on paper exposes patterns we’ve excused for years. Jodian shares the heartbreak of miscarriage and the confronting realization of hidden idols, then shows how surrender transformed anger into alignment. The “Abraham moment” of moving into the unknown cost comfort and proximity, yet rebuilt endurance and trust. Along the way, a simple phrase—broken crayons still color—becomes a lens for seeing beauty in what once felt unusable.

Then we get practical. As a certified life coach and NLP practitioner, Jodian breaks down how renewing the mind works at ground level: reframing thoughts, changing language, and healing behaviors shaped by trauma. We talk about teens acting out, adults carrying teenage wounds, and how spiritual formation and mental tools work together to dismantle shame and build capacity for the blessings we pray for—especially in love, boundaries, and readiness for a partner who truly reflects Christlike care.

If you’re wrestling with a hard yes, grieving a closed door, or craving a reset that sticks, this conversation offers both compass and courage. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope today, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep bringing more stories that heal and build.

What if the place you’d rather leave is the exact ground where God is shaping your future? We explore a raw season of working a new part-time job that didn’t feel like a “fit,” and how small, timely graces—helpful teammates, kind leaders, and even a customer’s compliment—reframed everything. Instead of labeling the assignment as punishment, we unpack how Romans 8:28 becomes a lived posture: all things are being woven for good when we choose obedience, pay attention to favor, and let humility do its deep work.

You’ll hear how unexpected feedback can steady a weary heart and why naming grace matters as much as naming struggle. We talk about the uncomfortable ways pride gets exposed and how God answers prayers for growth by sending real situations that stretch us. This is the slow, hidden formation most of us avoid, yet it’s where character is built and purpose is clarified. Reflection becomes a key practice, helping us recognize patterns of provision we missed in the moment and teaching us to harvest meaning from ordinary days.

If you’re feeling stuck or unseen, this conversation offers a gentle but direct reminder: your current station isn’t random, and your impact isn’t on hold. Purpose is practiced where your feet are—at the counter, in the meeting, during the commute. As we lean into obedience and gratitude, we become living pages others can read, pointing beyond ourselves to the One who sustains. Listen, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a quick review so more people can find hope right where they are.
