About this episode

Annie Bosko and Danielle Kartes share their journeys of overcoming personal challenges through faith and resilience.

This week, we’ll hear from Annie Bosko, a country artist whose career was gaining momentum when, in the middle of a live performance, her voice suddenly gave out. What followed was a vocal cord injury that required surgery and months of recovery where she couldn’t speak at all. Annie shares what that season of silence revealed, the people who stepped in to help her rebuild, and how she slowly returned to doing what she loves.   Later, we’ll hear from chef and author Danielle Kartes. After her family lost everything when their restaurant closed, Danielle struggled to rebuild her life and marriage. Though she vowed never to cook again, she was drawn back to the kitchen. Her attempt to reconcile her deep faith with her practical, food-centric work asking, “How does  hope relate to pot roast ?” became the foundation for her company, Rustic Joyful Food.   Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned : Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Jordan Smith Upcoming interview: Tim Hawkins   Annie Bosko MusiCares God Winks - Song by Annie Bosko California Cowgirl - Album by Annie Bosko Danielle Kartes…
