58 | Faith Through Fire: Finding Strength in Life’s Hardest Seasons with | Dr. Kayla Bullard

Dr. Kayla Ballard's testimony will stop you in your tracks. From experiencing ten devastating miscarriages to literally dying on a hospital table, her journey reveals what happens when human resilience meets divine intervention.

The conversation opens with Dr. Ballard sharing her path from the Bahamas to Savannah, Georgia, where she's currently "in the motion of becoming" - discovering new dimensions of herself even in this season of life. What drives her? The profound question: "Why me, God? Out of all the billions of people you created, why did you choose me?"

When asked how she stays centered amid life's chaos, Dr. Ballard reveals her non-negotiable practice of Sabbath rest, calling Saturdays her "sacred" day. "I guard it viciously," she explains, comparing these moments of silence to putting on a snorkel to breathe God's presence like oxygen. This spiritual discipline has sustained her through seasons that would have broken many.

The heart of the episode unfolds as Dr. Ballard recounts her harrowing battle with barrenness. After connecting deeply with the biblical woman with the issue of blood, she experienced a life-threatening hemorrhage while alone. In what can only be described as supernatural intervention, she managed to drive herself to medical help despite severe blood loss. Most remarkable was her near-death experience - literally leaving her body as medical professionals frantically worked to recover her lost pulse. In that moment, she declared, "I shall live and not die to declare the works of the Lord."

Against all odds, Dr. Ballard eventually welcomed her son after 17 years of marriage, followed by her daughter at age 42. Her publishing journey proved equally miraculous, transforming from writing just to remember things during a period of memory loss to becoming an author of multiple books and journals sharing her testimony of redemption.

For anyone feeling stuck or questioning their purpose, Dr. Ballard offers this wisdom: make a genuine commitment to God, find positive community, set boundaries, prioritize rest, and journal honestly about your journey. "You don't have to be perfect," she reminds us. "We're people in need of a savior."
