What do you do when life falls apart—again and again?

In this heartfelt conversation, Sarah Christmyer shares her story of walking with God through repeated storms: financial collapse, faith crises, the pain of addiction, raising a child with a life-threatening illness, and eventually, the loss of her husband to cancer.

Sarah speaks vulnerably about loneliness, disappointment, and fear—and how God has met her each time with unexpected peace. From clinging to scripture verses in her early marriage to discovering the Sacred Heart devotion in her sixties, she shows us what it looks like to keep trusting when the waves don’t stop.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

* The practice of gratitude that shifted Sarah’s perspective in desperate times

* How praise—even in sorrow—can lift our hearts to God

* What her husband taught her about “looking through the door” to heaven as he neared death

* Why remembering God’s past faithfulness matters in today’s struggles

* Simple practices that can anchor us in God’s presence when storms rage

💙 Sarah’s story is honest, tender, and full of hard-won hope. If you’ve ever felt lost in a storm, her witness will remind you that Christ is in the boat with you—bringing peace that surpasses understanding.
