What happens when faith feels dark, prayers feel unanswered, and life completely shifts? In this heartfelt conversation, Allison Byxbe shares her powerful testimony of walking through family brokenness, grief, parenting challenges, and her son’s rare genetic disorder diagnosis while learning to cling to God through anger, exhaustion, and uncertainty.

Allison also shares insights from her book, Journaling as a Spiritual Practice: Tracing the Lines of Grace to God’s Presence, offering encouragement for anyone longing for hope, healing, emotional honesty, encouragement, and deeper intimacy with God through life’s hardest moments.
