In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of our 7-month-old son Radley’s accident—how a spilled cup of hot tea led to second- and third-degree burns, an ambulance ride, and an 8-day stay in the pediatric burn unit. It was one of the hardest weeks of our lives, and yet in the midst of the pain and exhaustion, God met us in powerful ways.

I open up about what those long hospital days taught me—not only about suffering and surrender—but also about the incredible opportunity we have to minister to others in similar places. Whether you’ve walked through your own medical emergency, want to be more equipped to serve hurting families, or are simply curious what it’s really like to live in a hospital room for over a week with a baby, I hope this episode encourages you and gives you a renewed heart for showing up when it matters most.
