This week on The Collected Podcast, we are excited to welcome award-winning author Johanna Rojas Vann for a heartfelt conversation about faith, grief, hope, and the surprising ways God works in our lives. Johanna shares her journey from journalism to fiction writing, the remarkable story behind publishing her first book, and the deeply personal inspiration behind her newest novel, Where Wilted Flowers Bloom. Together, we explore how God met her with gentleness after the heartbreak of miscarriage, what it looks like to trust His goodness in seasons of loss, and how His provision shows up in both extraordinary and everyday moments. Whether you are walking through grief, waiting on God’s timing, navigating an unexpected calling, or simply needing a reminder that hope can bloom even in difficult places, this episode offers encouragement, honesty, and a beautiful invitation to look for God’s faithfulness in the midst of your story.

This week on The Collected Podcast, we are excited to welcome Jennifer Grant, founder of Pure and Simple, for a beautiful conversation about faith, calling, and trusting God through life’s biggest transitions.
