Running Into Healing: The Story Behind Willow Weston’s Book
Saison 8 · Épisode 399
mercredi 9 septembre 2026 • Durée 39:48
What if the parts of your story you’d rather hide are the very places where Jesus wants to meet you, heal you, and bring hope to someone else?
The tables are turned on this special episode of The Collide Podcast! Former and current Collide staff members Kenna Warren, Kristen Behrends, and Michelle Holladay take over the microphones to interview Willow Weston about the deeply personal story behind her book, Collide: Running Into Healing When Life Hands You Hurt. Willow shares how hiding in a closet from her mom became a pivotal moment that exposed wounds she still needed to heal, how God gave her the words “wounded collision,” and why she believes He asked her to live this message for years before finally writing it. Together, they talk about the courage required to tell the truth about our stories, why healing requires naming our pain, taking small steps of obedience toward a God-given dream, and what Willow has learned after years of watching Jesus meet women in the messiest parts of their lives. Ultimately, Willow wants every woman to know this: you are worthy of healing, Jesus can meet you in your pain, and He can even purpose your story to bring healing and hope to others.
Meet Willow Weston
Willow Weston is the founder and executive director of Collide, host of The Collide Podcast, and author of Collide. For years, Willow has invited women to get honest about their pain, collide with Jesus in the midst of it, and experience the healing and transformation only He can bring.
Her own story is at the heart of that message. What began as a deeply personal journey toward healing eventually grew into a ministry where Willow has watched women bring everything from broken relationships and self-harm to grief and feelings of worthlessness into the light and encounter Jesus there. Her book brings together Willow’s childhood experiences, stories of Jesus, and years of witnessing God bring transformation to women’s real lives.
Key Takeaways
When you’re tempted to minimize your pain: Give yourself permission to be honest about it. Pain doesn’t have to be catastrophic to need healing; even small hurts can accumulate when they’re continually ignored.
When telling your story feels scary: Remember that honesty can open the door for someone else to be honest too. Willow wrestled for years with how to tell the truth about her childhood without dishonoring the people she loved, but ultimately chose to share because she believes God can use her story to help others find healing.
When you want to avoid the hardest parts of your story: Healing requires naming the pain. Writing and repeatedly editing painful memories was exhausting for Willow, but revisiting those places also brought new healing.
When God’s timing feels incredibly slow: He may be asking you to live the story before you tell it. Willow originally thought she would write this book years ago, but now recognizes that the years of ministry gave her stories and experiences she never could have written about otherwise.
When you feel too messy for God: Invite Him into the mess. Willow says the Jesus she has come to know doesn’t wait for us to get everything together—He meets us in our pain, wounds, and the chapters we never wanted in our stories.
When your pain tells you something is wrong with you: Let Jesus tell you what is true. Pain may whisper that you aren’t loved, chosen, or worthy, but Jesus wants to set the record straight.
When you wonder if your healing matters to anyone but you: It does. Willow believes that as we allow Jesus to heal our wounds, He can purpose those very stories to help bring hope and healing to others.

Jesus wants to collide with the real places of pain in your story and bring the healing, hope, and wholeness you may have thought were impossible. Your healing matters - and as Jesus restores your story, He can use it to bring hope and healing to the people around you too.

Can revisiting your story become the doorway to healing?
In this beautiful conversation, Willow sits down with bestselling novelist Melanie Dobson to talk about the profound power of story, the courage it takes to uncover forgotten parts of our past, and the God who faithfully writes redemption into even the most painful chapters.
Melanie has written more than thirty novels inspired by overlooked histories, ordinary heroes, and untold family stories. She shares how growing up in rural Ohio, discovering books through a traveling bookmobile, and escaping into stories during an unstable childhood shaped her calling as a writer.
Together, Willow and Melanie explore why Jesus taught through parables, how stories help us make meaning from our experiences, and why buried family narratives often continue impacting generations long after they are forgotten. Melanie vulnerably shares her own journey of discovering hidden pieces of her family's story and how God used those discoveries to bring understanding, healing, and hope.

mercredi 19 août 2026 • Durée 35:27
What if the limitations you face aren't the end of your story—but an invitation to discover what God can do through you?
What do you do when the challenges in your life feel bigger than your ability to overcome them? Kyle Pease knows what it is like to face limitations every day. Born with cerebral palsy, Kyle relies on caregivers for many of the ordinary tasks most people do without thinking. But instead of allowing those limitations to define what is possible, Kyle has spent his life challenging expectations—and encouraging others to do the same.
Kyle is a two-time Ironman World Championship triathlete, disability advocate, and Chief Inspirational Officer of the Kyle Pease Foundation, which he co-founded with his brother Brett. But one of the biggest transformations in Kyle's life came when he became a follower of Jesus in 2013. He shares how discovering God's love changed the way he faced life's challenges and gave him someone to lean on when life felt hard.
In this conversation, Kyle talks honestly about asking for help, living with visible limitations, dealing with dark days, and learning to rely on God. He also shares the journey that led him to complete an Ironman alongside his brother and how that experience became the foundation for helping others with disabilities discover what they are capable of.
If you're facing a goal that feels impossible, struggling with anxiety or discouragement, or wondering whether your limitations will always hold you back, Kyle's story will challenge you to take the next step. You may not know exactly how you'll reach the finish line, but you can trust God to meet you along the way.
