What do you do when your entire world changes in a single moment?

In this episode of Why I Believe, I sit down with Jenni Bernal; wife, mom, and woman of deep faith, to share a powerful story of trauma, resilience, and trusting God through the unknown.

After a devastating bike accident left her husband with a spinal cord injury and the possibility of paralysis, Jenni found herself facing decisions, fear, and uncertainty she never could have prepared for.

But in the middle of it all… she heard something she'll never forget:

"Everything will be okay."

That moment changed everything.

We talk about:

• Navigating trauma and uncertainty as a family
• The power of faith when you don't have answers
• How community shows up in your darkest moments
• Letting go of control and accepting help
• Finding gratitude, even in the hardest seasons
• What it means to truly trust God's plan

Jenni's story is a reminder that even in life's most difficult moments…
God is present, people show up, and miracles still happen.

If you've ever faced something you didn't think you could handle, this episode will remind you that you're stronger than you think… and you're never alone.
