She Was Dead for 50 Minutes… but God

She Lives Freed with Brittany Dawn Nelson

Show Notes

What happens when you finally surrender the things you were never meant to carry on your own?

In today’s deeply powerful episode, Brittany sits down with Stephanie Franklin-Suber for a raw and hope-filled conversation about striving, survival mode, chronic illness, burnout, grief, and the freedom that can only be found through full dependence on God.

Stephanie shares her testimony of walking through cancer, chronic health struggles, emotional depletion, and even surviving a cardiac arrest… and how those seasons completely reshaped her understanding of surrender, healing, identity, and intimacy with God.

This conversation is for the woman who:

Loves Jesus but feels exhausted

Has been trying to hold everything together in her own strength

Wonders why healing has taken longer than expected

Feels discouraged in a difficult season

Is ready to stop surviving and start surrendering

Together, Brittany and Stephanie talk about what it looks like to trust God with a journey you didn’t choose, honor your body without shame, and discover that God still meets us tenderly in our weakest moments.

This episode will remind you that freedom in Christ is real… and even at the end of yourself, His grace is still enough.

In today’s episode, I sit down with trauma therapist and nervous system expert Rochelle Walsh to talk about burnout from a perspective many women have never considered. Instead of seeing burnout as a lack of faith, discipline, or time management, it's often a sign of nervous system dysregulation.

In today’s episode of She Lives Freed, I have the honor of chatting with Lisa Bevere for a conversation that is both deeply convicting and incredibly freeing. We’re talking about a pattern that so many women fall into, but rarely recognize: nagging, control, and the urge to constantly correct our husbands.Culture normalizes it, social media jokes about it, but Scripture has something very different to say.
