In this episode of The Grace Cycle Show, host Karen Dittman welcomes Kelly Hall — podcaster, author, and Bible teacher — for a powerful conversation on faith, resilience, and God’s sustaining grace in the hardest seasons.

Kelly shares her deeply personal journey of raising four children — three with special needs — while navigating the demands of military life as the wife of a fighter pilot. She opens up about the moment her first daughter was diagnosed as profoundly deaf and how God met her in the depths of fear, grief, and uncertainty.

• What it’s really like to parent special needs children with unwavering faith
• How God’s grace shows up in the unseen and exhausting moments
• Practical ways to support families walking a similar journey
• Scriptures that fueled hope in seasons of despair
• The role of remembering God’s past faithfulness to build present resilience

Karen and Kelly also discuss the emotional and physical weight of caregiving, the power of surrender, and the beauty that emerges when we allow God’s grace to lead us step by step.

The episode concludes with an encouraging update on Kelly’s children and an invitation to explore her podcast, Unshakeable Hope, for more stories of God’s faithfulness.

• Parenting children with special needs
