In this episode of the Radiant Grace Podcast, Rachel shares her personal journey of living with functional neurological disorder (FND) and the emotional struggles that accompany it. She discusses the importance of removing the metaphorical masks we wear to hide our true selves and the healing power of vulnerability and community support. Through her experiences, Rachel emphasizes the significance of faith, courage, and connection in overcoming shame and fear, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace their brokenness and let God's light shine through their lives.

In this episode of the Radiant Grace Podcast, Rachel shares her personal journey through brokenness and the sacred lessons it has revealed along the way. She reflects on how brokenness often begins quietly, not with collapse, but with fatigue, fear, and questions that seem to linger without answers. Rather than a sign of failure, Rachel reframes brokenness as an invitation from God to slow down, to stop running, and to notice where our stories are quietly changing.

Drawing from her experience living with functional neurological disorder, Rachel opens up about the physical and emotional losses she has faced, including changes in mobility, cognition, and identity. Through these ongoing challenges, she shares how God met her not after the struggle, but within it, reshaping her understanding of grace, calling, and purpose.

This episode gently explores how weakness can become holy ground, a place where God’s grace enters and transforms pain into testimony. Rachel invites listeners to notice the burdens they are carrying and to remember this truth: brokenness does not disqualify you from God’s love or His purposes. You are seen. You are held. And your story still matters, even here in the broken pieces.

In this opening episode of Radiant Grace, Rachel shares honestly about anxiety, fear, and the exhaustion that comes with chronic illness, including her recent diagnosis of functional neurological disorder (FND). She reflects on what it feels like to show up feeling unqualified, fragile, and unsure — and the quiet calling to begin anyway.

This episode is not about having answers or presenting a polished faith story. It’s about learning to trust that God can work through weakness, weariness, and unfinished places. Together, we explore what it means to keep going when healing hasn’t come yet, and to believe that presence — even in the middle of the mess — is enough.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your brokenness disqualifies you, this conversation is for you. You are not alone. God is still near, and His grace is radiant — even here in the broken pieces.
