204: When Weakness Becomes God’s Strength | Finding Grace in the Hardest Moments

There are moments in life when we feel weak, overwhelmed, and completely unequipped for what stands before us. Those moments often feel like failure—but what if they’re actually invitations? In this episode of The Purpose Effect, I share a very personal journey through grief, vulnerability, and faith. Reflecting on Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” David facing Goliath, and the incredible gift of God’s grace, I explore what happens when we stop relying on our own strength and begin trusting God’s. I also speak candidly about the recent loss of a friend to suicide and the difficult emotions that followed. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, carried guilt, or wondered whether God could still love someone like you, this conversation is for you. God doesn’t ask us to carry every burden. He asks us to bring them to Him. Our greatest strength isn’t found in our abilities. It’s found in surrender.
