💎 Finding Treasures in the Dark

In Part 2 of this profound and hope-filled conversation, Rachael continues her dialogue with author and speaker Cindy Brinker Simmons as they delve deeper into the sacred beauty found within life’s darkest moments.

This episode explores the powerful concept of “treasures in the darkness”—the hidden blessings, revelations, and strengths that often emerge from pain and loss. Rachael shares a vivid and symbolic dream she experienced before the loss of her husband Micah, where a devastating storm gave way to breathtaking jewels scattered across the ground—representing divine gifts born out of grief.

Cindy and Rachael talk candidly about how grief can not only crush, but also cultivate. Through stories, scripture, and soul-deep reflection, they remind us that even the fire of suffering can yield diamonds of strength, clarity, and purpose.

“God does His most transformative work in the darkest places. We just have to be willing to dig deep and pick up the jewels.” – Cindy Brinker Simmons
