What if God’s nature really is to restore—to bring life to barren places, peace to the war inside us, and hope even when the wreckage feels too deep?
In today’s heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Bible teacher, writer, and co-author of Revelationship, Cathy Colver Garland. Cathy shares the kind of story that doesn’t resolve in a single miracle—but in a lifetime of encountering the goodness of God in the middle of real, human pain.
From miscarriages and divorce to breaking her neck twice, Cathy opens up about the wilderness places she’s walked through—and the unshakable visions God gave her along the way. What held her together wasn’t just grit or healing. It was knowing the One who restores. The One whose nature is unchanging—even when our circumstances are.
The worship song that carries us through this conversation is “Your Nature” by Kari Jobe—a song Cathy returns to again and again. Because when everything feels lost, she’s learned to believe: it’s God’s nature to restore.
This is a story of deep waiting, surprising joy, and the kind of revelation that draws us into lasting relationship with a faithful God.
In This Episode:
Hear how Cathy clung to the nature and promises of God through years of barrenness, trauma, and unanswered questions.
