Have you ever wondered if your pain disqualifies you from purpose?
In this powerful conversation, Brittany sits down with The By Words Show host Hannah Hughes—a fellow podcaster, writer, and woman of deep faith—to talk about the healing journey, the courage it takes to share your story, and what it really means to trust God in the "middle moments" of life.
 
Hannah opens up about her experience growing up in a Christian culture where she thought she had to hide her mental health struggles—including an eating disorder, suicidal thoughts, and later, sexual abuse. With honesty and grace, she shares how God met her in her brokenness, how therapy and community helped her begin to heal, and why she believes our testimonies carry the power to overcome (Revelation 12:11).
 
This episode is a reminder that:✨ You can love Jesus and struggle with your mental health.✨ You’re not alone in your grief, confusion, or exhaustion.✨ God isn’t waiting for you to “get it together” before He moves—He’s right here, in the middle of it.
 
Whether you’ve walked through trauma or struggle, or just feel weary from the weight of it all—this conversation will speak to your soul.
 
In this episode, we talk about:
The pain of hidden struggles and how shame silences healing
Hannah’s journey through suicide ideation, sexual abuse, and miscarriage
Why surrender doesn’t mean weakness—it’s actually the doorway to God’s strength
How God uses ordinary moments to do extraordinary things
The power of sharing your story and speaking truth out loud
