Episode 16: Holding both: Healing, acceptance, and the faith that carries us

🎙️ Episode 16: Holding both: Healing, acceptance, and the faith that carries us

What do you do when healing doesn’t come, and acceptance still feels out of reach?

In this episode, Tony and Kristy open up about grief, disability, unanswered prayer, and the quiet places where faith is formed. From a deeply personal story of miscarriage to growing up with cerebral palsy, they share how God has met them in the tension, not always with answers, but always with presence.

This isn’t a conversation with clean endings or easy takeaways. It’s for the ones still praying, still waiting, or still hurting. If you’ve ever wondered if it’s okay to wrestle with God and still believe, this episode is for you.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why healing and acceptance aren’t enemies, and how they often overlap
• Kristy’s story of miscarriage, grief, and spiritual closure
• Tony’s reflections on disability and unanswered prayer
• The danger of assuming suffering means failure
• What Scripture says about weakness, waiting, and walking with God through it all

⚠️ A Note About This Episode:
Around the 7-minute mark, Kristy shares a story of pregnancy loss. It’s offered gently, but we know that may be hard for some to hear. If that’s you, please take care of your heart. We’re praying for you.
