Where Grace Meets Truth

Jeannette explores what to do when others form a false narrative about you—how misunderstandings happen, why they hurt, and why your identity ultimately comes from God, not public opinion. She offers practical guidance: pause before reacting, bring your hurt to God, distinguish conviction from accusation, ask for clarity, protect your heart, and choose wise, grace-filled responses.

After her twins are diagnosed profoundly deaf, Jeannette recounts the messy, faith-filled season of meeting her husband, discovering early intervention and a signing preschool, and learning ASL while raising three young children. Through small moments—children signing songs about Jesus, community support, and gradual progress—she finds hope and sees God at work, offering encouragement to anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Welcome to Where Grace Meets Truth. I'm Jeanette. In this episode I share the moment my twins were diagnosed profoundly deaf, the months of missed signs, the gut-wrenching shock and guilt I felt, and how faith and family guided us toward sign language, the deaf community, and a new understanding of God’s grace. It's a personal story about listening to truth, learning a new language, and finding hope.

In this first episode of Where Grace Meets Truth, I share the story behind the microphone. I talk about becoming a young mom, raising four children, and how life took an unexpected turn when my twins were diagnosed as Deaf. What followed was a journey into learning sign language, discovering the Deaf community, and navigating life as a mother trying to meet the needs of all of her children at the same time. This isn’t a polished success story. It’s the real one. The messy one. It’s the story of faith wrestling with fear, parenting without a handbook, and learning that God often meets us in the middle of our hardest seasons. If you’ve ever wondered how someone ends up telling stories like this, this episode is the beginning. Pull up a chair. I’m really glad you’re here.
