Ever felt like your story was too messy, too painful, or too complicated to be told? In this powerful episode of The Messenger Movement, host Tamra Andress sits down with Karissa Sprinkle for a raw and redemptive conversation about infertility, marriage struggles, ministry burnout, and the often-hidden grief so many Christian women carry.

Together, they unpack what it really means to pursue healing and share your story—even when it’s vulnerable. From the burden of being misunderstood to the freedom found in obedience, this episode speaks directly to women navigating faith, identity, and the courage it takes to show up with honesty.
