Awe-stuck: When Life Turns You Upside Down
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt flipped over, frozen, and numb—stuck under the weight of your circumstances, identity, or pain? In this vulnerable and powerful episode, Dr. AO shares a deeply personal story of heartbreak, surrender, and healing. Through the biblical image of a cast sheep—a sheep that falls on its back and cannot get up—she explores what it means to be helpless without a shepherd, and how God alone has the right to touch our lives and set us upright again.
With honesty and hope, you'll hear how motherhood, loss, and raw faith collided in a moment that left her asking, “Are you willing to give up your dream so she can have eternal life?” This episode is for anyone who’s disoriented in transition, aching to see God clearly, or wondering if they’ve wandered too far.
Because the Shepherd is coming. And He knows where you are.
