What if your trauma wasn’t a life sentence, but the very toolkit God would use to set others free?

In this episode of the Christian Authors with Marilyn Jeanne Designs Podcast, I sit down with Bambi Lynn...author, blogger, storyteller, coach, and single mom of six with thirteen grandchildren...whose life is anything but ordinary. She’s written The Journey of Josephine, The Treasures of My Heart, and The God Who Sees, each a testimony of God’s redeeming power. Before turning 50, she went skydiving, moved across states, and even wrote two of her books on Jekyll Island. Talk about fearless faith in action.

Bambi’s mission is clear: to show women that trauma isn’t a t-shirt we’re forced to wear forever, but a story that can be redeemed for God’s glory. As Psalm 34:18 (KJV) reminds us, “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”

Tune in as we talk about restoration, bravery, and the healing power of writing your story. Because in Christ, brokenness isn’t the end...it’s the beginning of something bold, beautiful, and Kingdom-shaking.

On September 11, 2001, the world stood still. Out of the ashes of devastation came stories of courage, unity, and unshakable faith. In this solo episode of the Christian Authors with Marilyn Jeanne Designs Podcast, Gina Stockdall is drawing from the lessons of that day...resilience, clarity of calling, and the power of testimony...to show you how to step boldly into your writing journey.

Just as Nehemiah refused to come down from the wall (Nehemiah 6:3 KJV), you too must refuse to be shaken from the mission God has placed in your hands. Whether you’ve been putting off your book, doubting your voice, or letting fear stop your pen, this is your reminder: your story matters, and it’s time to write it.

Join Gina as we turn remembrance into resolve, history into hope, and tragedy into testimony. Because in Christ, we do not crumble...we rise, we write, and we glorify Him with the words He’s entrusted to us.

What happens when the panic attacks hit, the marriage crumbles, and the life you thought you’d built goes up in smoke?

For Debbie Caudle, it became the crossroads moment that turned her pain into purpose. In this powerful conversation with host Gina Stockdall, Debbie pulls back the curtain on her journey...writing The Path Less Traveled, creating the Beauty from Ashes program, and launching the High Ticket Woman podcast to help women stop selling themselves short.

💥 From battling fear to learning the holy boldness of saying no, Debbie shares raw truths about boundaries, healing, and the God who brings beauty out of brokenness. Together, Gina and Debbie remind us that healing is not a one-time event...but a lifelong walk with Christ.

✨ Expect truth. Expect fire. Expect Scripture that steadies your heart in the storm. As Debbie clung to Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV), so can you: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Sis, you don’t have to keep walking the familiar path of pain. Step boldly onto the path less traveled...where God’s purpose prevails and His healing flows.
