I See You Podcast

This special episode of the I See You Podcast, features just Natalie! She shares parts of her own story from a message she shared at a women's retreat on suffering, surrender, and the faithfulness of God through every season. Reflecting on a life that once felt “easy,” Natalie opens up about how her daughter Harper’s seizures reshaped everything—exposing fear, control, and the need for moment-by-moment dependence on Jesus. Through Scripture, honest stories, and vivid illustrations, she reminds listeners that suffering is not meaningless: it sanctifies, it humbles, it strengthens, and it can become a pathway to serving and comforting others. This episode is an invitation to trade white-knuckled control for daily grace, to trust God with the bigger picture, and to find peace one step at a time in the One who has overcome the world.
