How do you keep thriving when life uproots you from familiar soil?

In this episode on the Eternal Echoes Podcast, speaker and author Peg Arnold shares her powerful story of walking through seasons of transition, loss, and unexpected change—and how she’s learned to see God’s hand in every chapter.

From the heartbreak of loss and the ache of uprooting after decades in one place, to discovering new purpose in later seasons of life, Peg invites us to look for the beauty and the “God gems” hidden even in the hardest moments.

Together, Peg and Katharine explore what it truly means to thrive in every season—not by escaping pain or pretending everything is fine, but by allowing God to meet us right where we are. They discuss how to cultivate gratitude when life doesn’t make sense, how to find joy that runs deeper than circumstance, and how to release the need to achieve or perform for God’s love.

Whether you’re in a season of flourishing or one that feels barren and uncertain, this conversation will remind you that God is faithful through it all—and that He’s not done with you yet. You’re still being planted, still being shaped, and still being called to thrive right where He has you.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“God takes your brokenness and He just holds you in His hands.”

-“God can take our angry prayers along with our praise prayers.”

-“God sees us. God knows how painful it is and He doesn't leave us.”

-“You are not what you accomplished. You are who God created you to be.”

-“Comparison is never going to help you.”

-“Never, never be afraid to ask for help.”

-“We may think that our season of flourishing is over, but God has a new season and new purposes in each stage of our life.”
