This episode is for creatives, storytellers, ministry leaders—and anyone who loves seeing how God can take ashes and turn them into beauty.
In this deeply moving episode, I had the joy of speaking with Kim Patton, an author and ministry leader whose powerful journey through heartbreak, foster care, and major life transitions is a true testament to God’s redemptive power.
Kim shares how her family answered the call to foster at a group home, eventually moving across states to continue their mission of ministering to teen girls. Her story highlights the beauty of obedience, the pain of transition, and the unshakable faith that anchors her.
If you’ve ever struggled to trust God through change—or questioned if your pain has a purpose—this episode is for you.

As I prepared for this episode of God-Sized Stories, I couldn’t stop thinking about the long list of unlikely people God used throughout Scripture—murderers, prostitutes, adulterers, cowards. People whose résumés would never pass a background check today. And yet, these are the ones God chose to accomplish His most glorious work.
That same theme runs through the beautiful and raw testimony of my guest, Angie Howell, author of Jewel of Heaven: A Beautiful Story of Brokenness, Redemption, and the Power of a Biker’s Prayer. Angie’s story is one of unimaginable pain—a failing marriage, an unplanned pregnancy, and a daughter born with a fatal brain condition. Ready to give up on life, she has a chance encounter with a group of Christian bikers that would change everything. Through them, God brings a miracle that no doctor could explain.
If you've ever felt disqualified by your past, dismissed by others, or too broken for God to use—this interview is for you. Angie’s journey is a powerful reminder that God's grace reaches to the lowest valleys and brings beauty from the ashes.
I also wrote about her incredible story in my column for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I invite you to read it and share it with someone who may need hope today.
Why does a loving God allow suffering? And can miracles really happen in the middle of our pain?
