What happens to your faith when life takes a turn you never expected? How do you redefine success when the world you built no longer fits your story? Can an “earthquake moment” actually become the place where you discover your divine purpose?

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Kari, founder of KIND Families — Kids with Invisible Neurological Differences and author of Finding Kind.

Kari opens up about her family’s journey through her son Brady’s autism diagnosis, how it completely shifted her definition of success, and the powerful way God rebuilt her faith from the ground up.

Together, we talk about what it means to find peace in the middle of uncertainty, to embrace the child God created, and to live with purpose after your plans fall apart. This episode is for every mom who’s ever whispered, “Why, God?” and needs the reminder that He can still bring beauty out of the earthquake.

You’ll walk away encouraged, grounded, and reminded that your story is still sacred.

Are you struggling to pray because you feel guilty or ashamed about doubting God?

Do you wonder if your honest emotions make you a “bad Christian” as you navigate parenting an autistic or medically complex child?

Are you ready to rediscover how to pray, restore your faith, and feel God’s love in the midst of life’s hardest moments?

In this episode, I’m sharing how Christian autism moms can approach God with honesty; even when doubting, frustrated, or scared; so you can restore your faith, experience healing as a mom, and feel empowered to pray without shame.

We dive into the common struggles many moms face when their children have autism or complex medical needs: the endless appointments, sleepless nights, and moments of feeling powerless. I share my personal story of fear, frustration, and doubt, and how I learned that these feelings do not make me a bad mom or a bad Christian.

You’ll hear why being honest with God is not only okay, it’s essential. We explore how Jesus Himself modeled authentic communication with God, even expressing anguish and confusion, and how you can follow His example in your own prayer life.

This episode offers practical guidance for reclaiming your prayer life, including:

• How to bring your doubts and fears to God without guilt
• Scripture that reassures you of God’s unconditional love
• Reflection prompts to help you process emotions and connect more deeply with God
• Steps to restore faith and feel empowered as a Christian mom

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with renewed confidence in approaching God, tools to pray honestly, and the peace that comes from knowing God’s love never fails, no matter what doubts or fears you face.

Are you a Christian autism mom who’s tired of feeling like you have to advocate for your child all on your own? Do you ever wonder how to pray for your autistic child when you feel lost, exhausted, or unsure what God wants you to do next? Do you long to trust God’s guidance more deeply, not just for your child’s healing, but for your own?

In this episode, I’m sharing how to let God lead you in advocating for your autistic child through prayer so you can trade fear for peace, confusion for clarity, and exhaustion for spiritual strength.

If you’ve ever prayed, “God, how do I pray for my autistic child?” this is the honest, hope-filled conversation you’ve been waiting for.

We’ll talk about: ✨ Praying for guidance when you’re overwhelmed by decisions and advice. ✨ Praying for courage when advocating feels impossible or misunderstood. ✨ Praying for emotional resilience for both you and your child, so you can stay grounded and hopeful through the hard days.

You’ll hear my own story of praying through fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty as a Christian autism mom, and how God met me right there; giving me wisdom to advocate with strength and compassion.

This episode is for the mom who’s doing her best, questioning if her prayers even matter. They do. And today, you’ll learn how to invite God into your advocacy, your parenting, and your peace.
