## Resource

Today is the day! The premier of our brand-new season called “Beauty for Ashes.” This season has been on my heart for a while. We’re going to be talking about redemption, not the pretty, polished version, but the real kind. The kind that comes after heartbreak. After disappointment. After pain. The kind where God meets us in the ashes and slowly, faithfully makes something beautiful. And I truly can’t think of a better way to start than with my friend, Kayte McCoy. This conversation is a personal one. Kayte shares her story with so much courage and wisdom. She talks about real hurt, deep hurt, and what it looked like to actually address it instead of avoid it. I was so struck by her wisdom. The way she wrestled through her pain. The way she clung to truth. The way she allowed God to meet her in some really serious, difficult places and lead her toward healing. I do want to gently mention that we touch on some adult topics in this episode, so if you’ve got little ones nearby, now might be a good time to pop in some earbuds. My prayer is that as you listen, you’ll not only be encouraged by Kayte’s story, but that you’ll find hope for your own. Whatever ashes you might be holding, you’re not alone, lets decided to surrender those ashes back to our loving heavenly Father. For He is the One who can make something truly beautiful emerge from them. Are you ready to be encouraged and equipped to abide in Christ? Let’s get into the heart of today’s episode.
