A fire-tested faith, true identity, and hope beyond healing

What do you do when suffering lingers… prayers seem unanswered… and the life you planned disappears?

In this powerful and honest episode of HER Podcast, Pat Domangue sits down with Lara Silverman, Christian author and former federal prosecutor, to talk about faith that is forged—not shattered—in the fire of suffering.

After developing a rare neurological illness that left her bedridden for years, Lara lost not only her legal career, but later her husband after just one year of marriage. In what she describes as a Job-like season, Lara wrestled deeply with God—asking hard questions about identity, healing, suffering, and trust.

Yet in the midst of loss, God met her with unexpected joy, deep spiritual healing, and a renewed understanding of what it means to find identity in Christ alone.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• Why suffering doesn’t mean God has withdrawn His love
• How to wrestle honestly with God without losing your faith
• What it means to find joy without physical healing
• How identity is refined when careers, health, and dreams are stripped away
• Why eternity reframes suffering in powerful ways
• How God works “grief to glory” in ways we may not fully understand

Lara also shares the heart behind her memoir Singing Through Fire, a testimony of joy, faith, and surrender forged through prolonged suffering—and why God never wastes a single moment of our pain.

If you’re walking through a season of chronic illness, grief, loss, or unanswered prayer, this episode offers biblical truth, deep encouragement, and hope that doesn’t depend on circumstances changing.

🎧 Listen in and be reminded: God is still present, still faithful, and still working—even when suffering doesn’t end.

Feeling unloved or unlovable? Explore healing, identity, and the woman with the issue of blood in this powerful HER Podcast conversation.

In this week’s episode of the HER Podcast, we continue our My True Identity series with a powerful and relatable conversation about one of the most common—yet hidden—identity struggles women face: feeling unloved or unlovable.

Pat is joined by licensed professional counselor and marriage & family therapist Taylor Draughn, who brings both professional insight and biblical wisdom into this tender topic.

Together, they explore:

·      The woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5) — how 12 years of isolation, rejection, and suffering shaped her identity… and how one faith-filled moment with Jesus transformed everything.

• Why isolation intensifies the feeling of being unlovable
• How discouragement, repeated disappointments, and unresolved issues distort identity
• Why anger, shame, and emotional “baggage” are often symptoms—not the root issue
• How forgiveness becomes a pathway to healing, not a one-time event
• What Scripture says about God’s deep, unwavering love (Ephesians 3:17–19; 1 John 3:1)
• Practical steps to begin healing, shift untrue beliefs, and embrace your true identity in Christ

This episode is for the woman who feels unloved and sometimes feels she is hard to love. She wonders if things will ever change in her life.  

Be encouraged—Jesus sees your issues, knows your story, and calls you “Daughter.” Just like the woman in Mark 5, He invites you into healing, wholeness, and identity rooted in His love.

So many women—especially those serving in ministry—live with a constant background noise of “I’m overwhelmed.” In this episode of HER Podcast, Pat Domangue sits down with organizing pioneer and author Barbara Hemphill (Taming the Paper Tiger, Less Clutter, More Life) to talk about what clutter is really about… and it’s not the stuff. Barbara shares how physical and digital clutter often point to deeper emotional and spiritual clutter, why “clutter is postponed decisions,” and how a clear vision (Proverbs 29:18) is key to getting unstuck.

You’ll hear practical, hope-filled strategies for creating simple systems, asking for help, and building community so you don’t try to manage life alone. Barbara also ties it all back to our walk with God—because maintaining a real relationship with Him is where peace, focus, and productivity begin.

If you’ve ever said things like, “I can't keep up. I am so overwhelmed” this conversation will help you breathe, reset, and start making decisions again.

In this episode you’ll learn:

·       Why overwhelm is often emotional or spiritual, not just logistical

·       How to think about clutter as postponed decisions

·       The role of vision in getting organized

·       Why women in ministry tend to neglect their own well-being

·       How faith and community make decluttering doable

Pat Domangue interviews Jessica Morris author of Dewdrops: Morning Meditations to Cultivate Faith, Love, and Service and Higher Powered: One Woman’s Journey of Personal Eschatolgy. Higher Powered was based on her master’s thesis, Personal Eschatology: The End of My World as I know It. 

Jessica’s story corresponds with our current My True Identity Series and our past, Women Of The Bible Series.  Jessica carried a wrong identity of “I am a mistake” based on the unhealthy and unholy environment she was raised in, harmful words spoken to her, and painful things that happened to her while living as a daughter of an alcoholic minister. Her story also parallels with Tamar from Genesis 38:6-28. Tamar and Jessica were not protected or honored by the people God placed in their life to care for them. Eventually, their brokenness and unprotected-ness would force them in directions that were not their best decisions. 

But God transformed Jessica’s life, story, and identity. She learned to reframe the story of her life when God began to speak to her, “Jessica, You are supposed to be here.”
