When your health suddenly turns your entire life upside down, how do you keep your faith from crumbling with it?
In this powerful episode of Encounters at the Well, Amy Donathan sits down with guest Traci Broeker to share her honest journey of walking through chronic illness and discovering the sustaining presence of God in suffering.
After a Covid vaccine reaction triggered mast cell activation, Traci’s life changed overnight. What followed were months of fear, confusion, countless doctor visits, and prayers that gradually shifted from pleading for healing to praising God for survival, strength, and breath.
This is a raw and hope-filled conversation about learning to live with a new normal, advocate for your health, and cling to God’s character when healing is slow.
You will hear:
• The early days of illness and the confusion of searching for answers
• How finding the right doctor finally brought direction and hope
• The physical and emotional challenges of daily life with new limitations
• How prayer evolved from desperation to gratitude
• The vital role of family, coworkers, and faith community in seasons of suffering
• What it looks like to hold onto God’s promises in the unknown
This episode is not just about illness — it is about faith in suffering, resilience in weakness, and a God who never leaves us.
Key reminders for your heart:
• You are not alone — God is close to the brokenhearted
• Prayer may change, but God hears every whisper
• It is okay to wrestle with doubt, fear, or grief
• Healing may be slow, but hope is found in God’s nearness
• Community matters more than we often realize
A heartfelt prayer is shared at the end for both the woman who knows Jesus and needs renewed strength, and the woman who is still searching for His love and salvation.
