What happens when divorce shakes your faith?

In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Ayers, who went through a divorce while pregnant, deeply confused, angry at God, and still showing up every morning as a Christian radio host, smiling on air while her heart was breaking behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it together for everyone else while falling apart inside… this conversation is for you.

We talk honestly about grief, divorce, faith, anger, shame, and healing—and what it actually looks like to walk with God when you don’t feel very “Christian” at all. Hannah shares how God met her in practical, undeniable ways, how community and honesty changed everything, and why real healing only happens when we stop trying to avoid pain and finally face it.

This episode isn’t just about divorce.

It’s about loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the moments when you wonder if God is really still good.

If you’re hurting, isolated, or tired of pretending—you’ll find hope here. Not hype. Not platitudes. Real hope.

👉 Stay to the end, because Hannah also shares practical steps for healing and offers a free coaching session for those who need support right now.

What does it really look like to raise a child when doctors say he won’t survive?

In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, Ken and Mary Sue Grein share the deeply personal story of raising their son, Jacob Grein, over the course of 37 years. Born six weeks premature, Jacob faced severe medical complications, physical disabilities, deafness, and ongoing health challenges that required constant care from the day he entered the world.

Ken and Mary Sue open up about the realities of parenting a medically fragile child—the fear, exhaustion, faith struggles, marriage pressures, and the daily decisions to keep going when answers didn’t come easily. They reflect on the moments when they had to surrender outcomes to God, redefine what healing and success truly meant, and learn to live with hope amidst long-term caregiving.

This episode isn’t about a quick miracle. It’s about faith lived out over decades, love that never wavers, and a son whose life profoundly shaped his family in lasting ways.

If you’re a parent walking a difficult road, a caregiver feeling unseen, or someone wrestling with unanswered prayers, Jacob’s story—and his parents’ journey—will encourage you to keep going, one day at a time.
