EP 5: Surrendering the Reins w/ Katie Cook

Through every high and every heartbreak, two things have remained constant in Katie Cook’s life: God and horses.From a young age, Katie learned that even in the hardest seasons, God provides, and that horses are often one of the gifts He uses to carry us through life’s storms. After being forced to live in a van as a child, losing her mother tragically at just 12 years old, navigating a divorce, and later losing her partner to cancer, Katie has faced more hardship than most.It would have been easy to question God’s goodness.But instead, Katie chose faith.In every painful chapter, she found glimpses of grace, focusing on how God was walking with her through the valleys and quietly aligning opportunities she never could have imagined.In this episode, Katie shares some of the most difficult moments of her life and the unwavering faith that carried her through them. She also reflects on the powerful role horses have played in her journey, offering purpose, peace, joy, and a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, God is still present.Check out her Instagram page @katie_cook https://www.instagram.com/katie_cook/Thank you for tuning in.
