#099: The Carly McCord Story: Only Rainbows with Karen McCord

from Sunshine Cafe: Stories to Encourage & Inspire · host Lisa Roers

In this episode, you’ll discover how faith can help you navigate grief, how God can weave purpose into even the hardest experiences, and how the determination and grit of one remarkable young woman can inspire all of us to keep chasing our dreams. My guest today is Karen McCord, mother of Carly McCord, whose story touched hearts across the nation and around the world. Carly’s talent, drive, and passion brought her national and international recognition, but her life was tragically cut short in a plane crash. Through this conversation, Karen shares not only the heartbreak of loss but also the hope, faith, and joy that have carried her forward. Together, we dive into topics like walking through grief while still finding joy, trusting God’s plan even when it’s hard to understand, and the ways adversity can reveal strength and character. We also explore Carly’s inspiring determination to pursue her dreams despite obstacles, and how her story — and Karen’s journey as her mother — can encourage listeners to persevere, stay faithful, and use their own experiences to impact others.
