One phone call can split your life into “before” and “after.” That’s where our conversation with author Benedicta Gbaruk begins, in the middle of unimaginable family loss and the kind of regret that keeps you awake asking, “What did I miss?”

If you’ve ever carried fear, doubt, or worry while trying to hold a family together, you’ll hear your own questions reflected with honesty and hope.

Benedicta shares her journey through a serious car accident that leaves her young daughter with a traumatic brain injury, the months in the hospital, and the daily pressure of medical reports that seem final. She also opens up about losing her mother in 2020 and then losing her baby while pregnant, and how those layers of grief forced her into total dependence on the Holy Spirit as Comforter and Guide.

We talk about the very real tug of family regrets, why pain can isolate us, and how God often sends help through people and timing we never could have arranged.

We also get personal about marriage, anger, and submission, not as a religious rule, but as learning to submit to God first so our words stop tearing down the home we’re called to build. Benedicta explains how Scripture became her pathway to spiritual clarity, how compassion changes the way we see others, and why she believes God can turn pain into purpose. She also shares where to find her book, Discovering Grace and Peace Amid Family Regrets, and what she wants every listener to remember when the wilderness season feels endless.

If this brought you encouragement, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find Release Doubt Reveal Purpose.

Please note that a correction is needed. In our interview, Benedicta, referenced Ephesians 3:17 when speaking about Paul’s prayer concerning spiritual understanding. The passage she was thinking of God giving us wisdom and revelation and enlightening the eyes of our hearts is Ephesians 1:17–18.
