Refined in the Deep | Finding Christ Through Loss and Uncertainty
In this deeply moving episode of Becoming the Oak Rooted in Christ, I sit down with Annie Kotyk to talk about faith in the face of unimaginable loss, trusting God in uncertainty, and what it means to be refined in the deep.
Annie shares her journey through a high-risk pregnancy, repeated moments of fear, and the heartbreaking diagnosis that her baby would not survive. Together, we talk about the emotional weight of carrying a child you know you will lose, the power of community, and how staying connected to God—even through frustration and doubt—can bring peace in the middle of pain.
This episode is for any woman walking through grief, struggling to feel joy, or wondering where God is in the middle of her trial. Annie’s testimony is a reminder that even in the deepest waters, we are not alone—we are being refined, strengthened, and drawn closer to Jesus Christ.
You’ll also hear about a sacred spiritual experience that brought Annie comfort through the story of Mary, and how music, honest prayer, and vulnerability became lifelines during her darkest season.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by life’s challenges, this conversation will remind you that God meets you right where you are—and walks with you through it.
