In this honest and hope-filled conversation, worship leader and author Myshel Wilkins shares her journey through 8 miscarriages and the spiritual battle that followed. In the midst of grief, anger, and unanswered questions, she faced a defining choice: allow her pain to distort her view of God or anchor herself in what she knew to be true. With vulnerability and clarity, Michelle unpacks how intentionally defining God’s character became the turning point that sustained her faith, protected her heart from despair, and kept the enemy from stealing her calling.

Together, we explore how suffering can either pull us away from God or draw us into deeper intimacy with and effectiveness for Him.

Scripture referenced:

  • James 1:2–5
  • Isaiah 61:3
