When Bethany Murdock learned she and her husband wouldn’t be able to have children, her world felt shattered. Yet in that deep place of pain, God invited her into an even deeper relationship with Him.

In this encouraging conversation, Bethany—Christian Life Coach, author, and trainer with ICCI—shares her story of hope, healing, and spiritual growth. Drawing from her book Into the Deep, she unpacks what it means to truly know Jesus, overcome fear, and grow deeper in faith even when life doesn’t go as planned.

If you’re longing to take the next step in your walk with God, this episode will stir your heart to trust Him—no matter what season you’re in.
