What if the very places where we feel most broken are the places where God wants to bring the greatest healing?

In this powerful episode of Pursuing Redemption, I sit down with Willow Weston, author, speaker, podcast host, and founder of Collide Ministries, for an honest conversation about pain, insecurity, healing, and the transforming power of Jesus.

Through her own story of brokenness and redemption, Willow shares how God meets us in the messiest parts of our lives and invites us to stop running from our pain and start bringing it to Him. We explore how unresolved wounds impact our relationships, why vulnerability matters, and how our own healing can become a source of hope for others.

Willow reminds us that our brokenness doesn't disqualify us from being used by God. Sometimes, it's the very place where He does His greatest work.

If you've ever felt stuck in your pain, struggled with old wounds, or wondered whether true healing is possible, this conversation is for you.

Because when our brokenness collides with Jesus, redemption becomes possible.

What if the anxiety, shame, fear, or emotional struggle you keep fighting isn’t the real problem, but a signal pointing to something deeper?

In this episode of Pursuing Redemption, I sit down with Heather O’Brien, author, minister, and host of the Heal with God podcast, for a conversation about what it means to pursue healing with God rather than simply learning how to live with our pain.

Heather’s message comes from a deeply personal place. After walking through her own struggles with depression, anxiety, addiction, and shame, she began a journey of learning to hear God’s voice and allowing Him into the deeper places of her life that needed healing. Today, she helps other Christians do the same. Heather shares why emotions like anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, and unforgiveness can sometimes serve as signals that something deeper needs our attention, and how we can begin asking God what is really happening beneath the surface.

We also explore one of the central messages of Heather’s new book, Heal with God: healing isn’t about following the perfect formula or saying the perfect prayer. It is about developing a relationship with God, learning to recognize His voice, discovering His truth, and inviting Him into the places where we have felt stuck.

This conversation gets to the heart of Pursuing Redemption. Our painful experiences may be part of our story, but they don't have to be the end of it. There can be another chapter. There can be healing and freedom. And sometimes the very thing we have been trying desperately to get rid of may be pointing us toward the place where healing needs to begin.

Pursuing Redemption with Duke White | Learning to Hope After Hardship

Duke White of the GoodVue Network sits down with me to talk about a story I never imagined I would one day have the courage to tell, my story of abuse, survival, healing, and learning to hope again.

For years, I carried the wounds of abuse and the lies that came with them. But the Lord has healed me and is leading me to finally telling my story, not simply to revisit the pain, but to share what it looks like to find peace, freedom, and hope on the other side.

My story, Deeply Wounded Hope, explores surviving abuse and the healing journey of coming into right relationship with the Trinity. God Box continues that journey, and Shake Off the Lies, the newest book in the trilogy, focuses on untangling the lies we've believed and learning to believe God's best for our lives.

If you or someone you love is walking through the aftermath of abuse or simply trying to find hope after a season of deep hardship, this episode is for you.

My prayer is that through this conversation, you would discover that your story isn't over. There can be peace after chaos, love after hurt, and hope after the deepest wounds.

There is mercy on the other side. And with God, there is redemption.
