The Comeback Couch

Author Kara Stout opens up about losing both of her parents to cancer and the difference in grieving without God when she lost her dad versus grieving with God when she lost her mom. Her faith throughout these situations along with other instances she shares encourage us all to cling to God in the good and the bad and shift our perspective to one of eternal significance. 

Kara’s recent devotional book, An Untroubled Heart: Calming Anxiety and Finding God’s Peace (A 30-Day Morning and Evening Devotional), is full of the same encouragement for everyday life.

Kaitlin and poet Tanner Olson chat about what it looks like to simplify prayer and take everything to God as the friend He is.

Tanner is well known for his poetry and wisdom on Instagram at @writtentospeak and recently released a children’s book titled All the Things I Say to God. 

This conversation feels like a warm hug and a reminder that praying doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Aubrey Sampson, author of What We Find in the Dark, as she discusses walking through the loss of both her best friend of 25 years and her father in back-to-back seasons. 

Just when she felt like she couldn’t catch a break and life kept knocking her down with loss, she saw the value in resisting the urge to rush through the grief and instead let God meet her in it. 

Aubrey pastors others through their own grief and points them to Jesus as they learn how to process all the feelings that accompany seasons of loss, sickness, and suffering.

Kaitlin is an active member of Burn in her city of Huntsville, AL, and talks about how Burn has changed her life physically and mentally, specifically throughout pregnancy and postpartum seasons. 

They discuss true transformation we see when we opt for long-term strength and healing in our lives over quick fixes and how that translates into our spiritual lives and our everyday experiences. They talk about why failure in the gym is so important and celebrated at Burn because of what it means for our bodies and our brains.

We’re revisiting some of our all-time favorite episodes to wrap up 2024! 

This is an extra special episode because Kaitlin sits down on the actual Comeback Couch with her mom, Christy to talk through some of her testimony. 

Christy has so many powerful comeback stories and is the definition of an overcomer.

She talks about the defeating words a school employee spoke over her when she got pregnant with Kaitlin in high school and how she has used that for good to speak life over the kids she now works with at the very same school.

They also talk about Christy’s difficult childhood, caring for her own mother after a stroke, suffering through her mother’s pill addiction, and eventually being the one to find her mother overdosed a few days before Christmas 16 years ago.

Kaitlin and her mom have a strong bond and it’s easy to see that her mom is a fighter and gives all the glory to God for that fight inside of her.

Christy turns 50 on December 6th, so be sure to wish her a happy birthday!!

We’re revisiting some of our all-time favorite episodes to wrap up 2024! 

In this episode, Cam and Kaitlin talk about body image, exercise, and Cam reveals something crazy about her past work! Hint: Washington D.C. 

Kaitlin gets really vulnerable about struggles she had in the past centered around eating and exercise, especially when she dreamed of being a college cheerleader. 

This conversation gets down to the nitty gritty of what it means to love our bodies and treat them as the temples God created them to be. 

More about Cam:

Cameron Iversen is the Lead Trainer at Burn Bootcamp - Jones Valley in Huntsville, AL. She has been a Burn trainer for almost 5 years but started in the fitness industry 13 years ago at the YMCA where she taught a variety of group fitness classes. Cameron has always participated in sports and been in the gym but she did not make it a job until after she and her husband moved back to Alabama with a young family and she was looking to pursue something she could enjoy that was flexible. Now, her children are 16 and almost 14 (and she still needs her flexibility!)
