In this heartfelt episode of Rise Up & Radiate, I sit down with my dear friend Stacey Bartlett to talk about navigating life’s storms—literally. When Hurricane Helene hit, Stacey and her family faced devastating losses, including their home. But in the midst of destruction, they witnessed God’s faithfulness, the power of community, and the beauty of restoration. Stacey’s story reminds us that while we can’t control the storms, we can trust the One who walks with us through them.

This episode will inspire you to process your emotions, hold onto faith, and seek the light even in the darkest moments.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• How to face fear and uncertainty without letting it define you.
• Why the process of healing and restoration isn’t punishment but preparation.
• How God shows up in unexpected ways through people and circumstances.
• Practical steps to shift your perspective and mine for miracles in the mess.
• The importance of community and allowing others to support you when you can’t stand on your own.

Takeaways and Tools to Help You Rise Up & Radiate

1. Acknowledge Your Emotions:Don’t suppress your feelings; process them with God. Journaling, prayer, or talking with trusted friends are great places to start.
2. Shift Your Perspective: Ask God, “What do You want to be for me in this situation that You couldn’t be in any other way?”
3. Look for God’s Provision: Even in the chaos, God is working. Pay attention to the ways He’s providing for you today.
4. Lean on Community: Don’t be afraid to reach out for prayer and support. Let others stand in the gap when you’re weary.
5. Start Each Day with Expectation: Stacey reminds us: “We often miss our miracles because we’re stuck in the muck.” Choose to look for light and anticipate God’s goodness every day.
