In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my dear friend Nicole for a raw, honest, and deeply meaningful conversation diving into the highs and lows of marriage, the weight of anxiety and depression, and the difficult realities of suicide.

But that’s not all—we’re also unpacking the beauty of spiritual gifts and how God uses them to shape our journey. Together, we’ll break down the impossible standards of perfectionism and discover the freedom that comes when we surrender it all to Him. This is a conversation filled with truth, hope, and the reminder that even in our darkest moments, God is writing a greater story.

You don’t want to miss this one!

Welcome to the FIRST official episode of "But God"

In this raw and powerful episode, I sit down with my friend Stephanie for a heartfelt conversation about some of life’s heaviest battles—relationships, addiction, suicide, resentment, shame, and guilt.

She opens up about how these struggles impact our stories and the lies they try to write over our lives. But more than that, we talk about the God who meets us in the middle of the mess with healing, hope, and freedom.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your past or burdened by emotions you can’t outrun, this conversation is for you.

There is redemption. There is grace. And there is still a story worth telling.

Hey friends, and welcome to the very first episode of “But God: A Story Worth Telling.” I’m your host, Danielle, and I’m so glad you’re here. This podcast is all about real stories—honest, raw, and full of hope—because every powerful testimony has a “but God” moment. A moment when everything felt uncertain or broken… and yet, God stepped in.

Today, I’m starting with my own story. It’s a journey through the ups and downs of my teenage years, relationships, seasons of searching, and ultimately—coming back to the One who never stopped pursuing me. Through it all, one verse anchored my heart: Romans 5:8 — “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

That truth changed everything. I didn’t have to clean myself up for Him to love me—He met me right in the middle of the mess. And if He can do that for me, He can do it for you too.

If this episode encourages you, I’d love for you to follow along, share it with someone who needs hope, or connect with me on Instagram @thissonkissedlife. And if you’ve got a “but God” story of your own—I’d be honored to hear it. This space is for all of us who know that our story only makes sense because of Him.

This is my story—but it’s really His. Let’s dive in.

Welcome to But God, a podcast where we share real stories of how God steps in and changes everything. Romans 5:8 reminds us, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This podcast will feature testimonies of people whose lives have been transformed by God’s grace—some in dramatic ways, others in quiet but powerful moments of faith. No matter what you’re facing, God is still in the business of redemption, and He hasn’t forgotten you. Join me on this journey, and let’s be reminded together that there is always hope—because there is always a But God.
