Have you ever wondered how you would get through a deep dark season? Join us as we discuss how rejoicing in hope, persevering in affliction, and devoting yourself to prayer can help you through the dark times.   Nicole Clark, founder of Twelve 12 Ministries and co-host of the Purpose Beyond Motherhood podcast, joins Angela to share her journey from professional dancer to ministry leader. Drawing from Romans 12:12, Nicole unpacks how to rejoice in hope, be patient in affliction, and be persistent in prayer—especially in seasons of infertility, loss, and waiting. Nicole’s story is a testimony to God’s kindness in transforming pain into purpose and finding joy in both family and ministry.   Episode Highlights
  • Nicole shares how God has taught her to embrace both her calling as a mother and her passion for supporting women facing infertility and loss.
  • Angela and Nicole discuss the context of Romans, focusing on Paul’s practical encouragement to live out faith with a renewed mind and transformed heart.
  • The conversation explores Romans 12:12, breaking down what it means to rejoice in hope, be patient in affliction, and be persistent in prayer, even when life doesn’t go as planned.
  • Nicole shares how God called her to start Twelve 12 Ministries after her own journey through infertility and loss, and how every believer can find purpose and make an impact—whether it’s for one person or many.
  • Practical encouragement for listeners: everyone has a unique purpose, and living out hope, patience, and prayer in daily life can open doors to share God’s love and spark revival in unexpected places.
Great Quotes
