Episode 16 - No More Anger: Hope for an Out-of-Control Mom with Kathy Collard Miller

Date: January 9, 2024 Podcast Show Notes: Interview with Kathy Collard Miller   Story Highlight: Kathy Collard Miller believed God had led her and her high-school sweetheart, Larry, into marriage. After all, he was already a Christian and God had used him to draw Kathy into becoming a born-again Christian. But her plan to get him to the altar so that she could alter him didn’t work. And then after having two children, their relationship crumbled into anger, conflict, and misunderstandings. Kathy longed for a perfect marriage, but they realized after seven years of marriage, there was little hope of reaching that goal. Kathy hated her life, marriage, and being a mother. She could no longer deny she had become a child abuser with her two-year-old toddler. She prayed the plane Larry was flying as a hobby would crash. Since God didn’t answer her plea for an instantaneous deliverance of her marriage and anger, she decided He had given up on her and there was no hope. She almost took her life. But God was faithful and over time, worked in Larry and Kathy’s lives to teach them how to be patient and loving with themselves and their children. God’s empowerment made it possible for Kathy to share her story and her ministry of writing and speaking began.   Now Larry and Kathy write and speak together and individually. They have been married for 53 years. They love to teach others about God’s ability to work miraculously in hopeless situations. Kathy is the author of over 60 books and is an international speaker. Larry has authored 13 books (some co-authored with Kathy),   About the Guest (Bio): Kathy is a best-selling, award-winning author of women’s Bible studies, biblical commentaries, and Christian living topics. • International speaker in over 30 US states and 9 foreign countries • Lay Counselor • Married 53 years • Mother of two and grandmother of two • Bible study leader   Kathy is an animated communicator who passionately wants God to receive the glory He deserves.
