When life feels heavy and emotions run deep, where do you turn?

In this honest and hope-filled episode, Kristen Hallinan sits down with Kara Stout to talk about navigating anxiety, grief, and uncertainty through the lens of faith. Kara opens up about her journey through loss, health struggles, and infertility—and how each challenge became an invitation to trust God more deeply. Together, they explore the power of prayer, the beauty of surrender, and the lessons learned through parenting and pain.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of your mess, this conversation will remind you: He’s closer than you think.
