Drawing from her family’s journey with disability, her ministry at Perimeter Church in Atlanta and her years of writing songs that have walked millions through sorrow and joy, Laura reflects on what it means to follow Jesus when the path feels unpredictable. She shares how worship can serve as a soundtrack for real life — not only celebrating God in seasons of victory, but sustaining believers through grief, confusion and change. 

In this episode, you’ll discover: 

• Why stepping out in faith can feel like a “free fall” — and why it isn’t; 
• Practical ways worship leaders and churches can walk alongside people in seasons of grief;
• How God is both our Savior and our Sustainer; and 
• The surprising ways God’s goodness can shine even in the most painful and confusing chapters of life.
