Life Upside Down with Abel Speaks

Why is this happening to me? (Walking with God through brain tumors, diabetes, crohn’s disease, lupus, and chronic pain)

Have you ever felt like the hits have kept on coming, one after another?

In this episode, the Crawfords sit down with Brett & Chrissy Billman to discuss their ongoing journey through multiple health issues and physical afflictions. From discovering a brain tumor while pregnant to battling diabetes and autoimmune diseases all before the age of 35, the Billmans share what their story so far has taught them about pain, perspective, comparison, faith, and the God who they have strived to seek in and through it all.

Where do you turn when life turns upside-down? Welcome to the Life Upside-Down podcast hosted by Abel Speaks co-founders, Daniel and Kelly Crawford. In this inaugural episode, the Crawfords begin by sharing the primary “need” that led to the launch of the Life Upside-Down podcast. They go on to share their own personal journey about how life turned upside-down in 2015, and God has taken a story marked by sorrow and suffering and transformed it into a ministry marked by hope and joy. Finally, Danieland Kelly lay out the ultimate vision for this podcast and unpack what you can expect from the Life Upside-Down podcast. We pray this opening conversation will chart the course for many meaningful conversations with amazing guests in the weeks to come.

When life turns upside down, we can see the world from a new perspective. No matter who you are, you have either walked through deep hardship, you are in a hard season as we speak, or you will be soon enough. Sorrow and suffering can feel deeply isolating, and it would be easy to believe that no one could possibly understand. But trust us, you are not alone. We believe every person can experience hope and joy, even in the midst of sorrow.

Hosts, Daniel and Kelly Crawford, have the privilege of walking with men and women through the valley of the shadow of death on a weekly basis through their ministry, Abel Speaks. In their own story of suffering and countless others, the Crawfords have seen the redemptive truth that God never wastes an ounce of our pain. Join them each week for authentic conversations and gospel hope for the hurting.
