Hey, friend.
You thought you knew how to do this thing called life, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. What if God's plans are even bigger than our own expectations? In this powerful episode, I sit down with my friend Robyn Dykstra, bestselling author of The Widow Wore Pink and highly sought speaker who has an incredible gift for helping women discover hope in their darkest moments.Robyn's story is one of radical transformation, from Playboy bunny to beloved Christian speaker. Yet it's so much more than a simple before and after testimony. Robyn opens up about the dangerous lie many of us believe: that if we just follow the rules and be good church girls, nothing bad will ever happen to us. Robyn learned the hard way that trials come to everyone. Then she discovered something beautiful:
- God doesn't waste our pain
- It's never too late for a fresh start.
Whether you're struggling with shame from your past, feeling like you've wandered too far from God's will, or believing the lie that you're just getting what you deserve, Robyn's wisdom will challenge you to see your story through God's eyes. She shares practical insights about the power of testimony, the importance of community during difficult seasons, and why vulnerability isn't weakness but, rather, the pathway to helping others find hope.
May you find the courage today to reach out to the body of Christ in your hour of need, sweet friend.
Always, Anna
