The Way God Shows Up — Katie Simkins

Katie Simkins didn't grow up knowing Jesus.She didn't grow up in church. She didn't grow up with hope.At 16, doctors found 11 precancerous growths in her body. A group of strangers prayed over her. The scans came back completely clear, not even scarring.Weeks later, her brother unexpectedly passed away.And what followed was a year she calls "the year of darkness."Walking in physical darkness. Carrying grief, guilt, and the weight of a question she couldn't answer... why would God heal me and then take him?This conversation wrecked me.Katie shares the moment she almost gave up. The woman who stopped her in the hallway. The prayer she thought was a goodbye that became a beginning.And how a thrift store army men set and a stranger's receipt marked "paid in full" is still teaching her kids who God is today.We talk about: What it looks like to follow Jesus when your friends hate Him. What it means to stop performing your faith and start living it. And why the greatest answer to prayer might not be a changed circumstance... but His presence in the middle of it.Let's dive in.I'm Dr. Kimberly Beam Holmes.
