How My Mother’s Death Pulled Me Away From Faith I was born and raised Roman Catholic. Church was routine. Faith was familiar. But when my mother died, everything changed. Grief made it easy to walk away not just from church, but from trusting God’s plan altogether.

Episode 2 | Unshaken Voices “I think when I really surrendered myself was last December.” She speaks honestly about a season marked by grief, loneliness, frustration, anger, and bitterness.

A simple sen...

There were moments when everything felt like too much and I knew I could not handle it on my own. In those moments, faith became more than a belief. It became a lifeline. This is a real story about reaching a breaking point, walking without direction, and experiencing God’s intervention through another person. It is about fear, surrender, and the quiet but powerful way God meets us when we cannot...
