“If God Is Real, Why Does This Happen?” | A Redemption Story of Faith, Trauma & Hope with Miranda Roy

from The True North Podcast · host Mykah Price Ballard

Trigger Warning: This episode contains brief discussion of drug addiction, domestic violence, and suicidal thoughts. Listener discretion is advised. While these topics are part of Miranda’s story, this conversation ultimately centers on hope, healing, redemption, and the faithfulness of God. What do you do when life keeps getting harder, even after you start following God? In this powerful testimony episode of the True North Podcast, I sit down with Miranda Roy as she shares her incredible journey from childhood trauma, family addiction, domestic violence, homelessness, and heartbreak to discovering the life-changing hope of Jesus Christ. Miranda opens up about growing up in a broken home, wrestling with questions about God’s goodness, and reaching a point where she wondered if life was worth living. Yet through every setback, unanswered question, and painful season, God continued pursuing her heart. Together, we talk about what it looks like to trust God when circumstances don’t make sense, why the Book of Job became one of Miranda’s greatest sources of encouragement, and how God can use even the darkest seasons to draw people closer to Him.
