About this episode

Heather recounts her spiritual journey during a tumultuous time in her marriage, emphasizing the importance of seeking a connection with God.

Episode 2: The Turning Point: Finding a Face in the Fire Most people wait for their circumstances to change before they seek peace. Heather did the opposite. In this episode, she recounts the moment she stopped praying for her marriage to be fixed and started praying for her soul to be found. Summary: Episode 2 takes us into the eye of the storm. While her marriage was at its most "horrific" and the lies were at their peak, Heather attended a worship conference that changed everything. It wasn't a magic fix; it was a spiritual breaking point. Heather details her journey through "Cleansing Streams" and the grueling, beautiful process of "heatherizing" the Bible—taking a single verse and picking it apart until it speaks to the marrow of your bones. The highlight of this episode is the "Week of Prayer," where Heather describes a visceral encounter with the heart of God. In a moment of total surrender, she heard a directive that every leader in crisis needs to hear: "Look to Me, no matter what."
