If you’ve ever walked through a season of loss, exhaustion, or endless waiting — wondering what God is doing or why He seems silent — this episode is for you.

In the premiere of Spark Faith, Dr. Kris Sargent opens her heart about a deeply personal season that changed everything. After losing her mother in early 2024, Kris found herself emotionally and spiritually drained. Instead of rushing back into work and “getting back on the horse,” she heard God say one word: wait.

What felt like an unwanted pause became sacred preparation. Through that quiet season, God began to remind her — and now all of us — that He never wastes our pain. He repurposes every experience, every tear, every waiting season for our growth, His glory, and the good of others.

In this first episode, you’ll discover:
✨ Why it’s okay to be honest with God — even angry with Him — and still pray through the pain.
✨ What Romans 8:26–28 really means in context (hint: God is already working with your pain, not around it).
✨ How the Holy Spirit intercedes when we have no words left to pray.
✨ Why our waiting seasons are often God’s preparation seasons.
✨ How God uses our stories to bring comfort, hope, and healing to others.

Dr. Kris also shares why a Functional Medicine doctor is talking about God — and how her decades of experience helping women heal physically led her to realize that the heart and the body can’t be separated.
Lab tests can’t heal grief, and supplements can’t restore a weary soul. Only God can.

Spark Faith is where faith and functional medicine meet — helping women heal their bodies, renew their minds, and rediscover God’s presence in every part of their journey.

Scriptures mentioned:
Romans 8:18, 26–28 · 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 · Genesis 50:20 · Psalm 34:18

If you’ve been in a waiting season or wrestling with unanswered prayers, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t over — it’s being rewritten by the One who makes all things new.

🎧 Tune in now and be encouraged.
Because your pain is not pointless — and God doesn’t waste a thing.
