info_outlineWhat if the darkness you’re walking through isn’t proof that God has abandoned you, but the very place He is holding you closest? In this powerful and deeply honest re-released episode, Sheila Walsh shares her journey through depression, heartbreak, and seasons where hope felt out of reach. She opens up about hitting a breaking point in 1992, facing renewed struggles, and discovering that even when she couldn’t hold on to God, He never let go of her. Through Scripture, vulnerability, and practical rhythms of hope, Sheila reminds listeners that God is near to the brokenhearted, that it’s okay to ask for help, and that no season—no matter how heavy—has the final word.
