Welcome to the Nothing is Wasted podcast, where we meet you in your pain and help you discover a pathway through.

No matter what you've faced or what you're walking through now, we believe your story isn't over.

Each week, you'll hear powerful conversations with people who've partnered with God to reclaim their stories of trauma, loss, and heartbreak, and we'll chat with Christian experts who offer wisdom and

practical tools for healing. This is a place of hope, redemption, and the reminder that

even in your darkest moments, God is still writing your story, because with him, nothing is wasted.

I'm your host, Davey Blackburn.

Hello, welcome to the Nothing is Wasted podcast.

I'm one of your host, Davy Blackburn. And joining

me again for the interim while Aubrey's out, Carissa. Hello. Thanks for having me back.

Always good to be here. Chris Sprinkle, ladies and gentlemen, in case, you didn't listen last week.

And if you didn't listen last week, you need to go back and listen to last weeks. If you're just jumping into nothing's wasted community right now, like this is your first time ever, welcome. Some of that, you know, sometimes we just like, it's like, oh, this is my first time. I just got referred to and they have no idea what this is all about. We want to welcome you. It's awesome to have you here. Thanks for tuning in. This has been such an important podcast on my own healing journey. And so if you're

just navigating just anything where you feel like the only one, this is the podcast to be on

because it'll just, it'll continue to remind you there's others walking with you. So, we're so glad, we're so glad you found it. I love that. I think that's interesting, Carissa, that you've observed that because that's what I saw as things started to evolve. You know, when we started the podcast, it was like, well, let me talk to some folks who have gone through some really hard things and let them share their stories and I'm borrowing faith from them. And then as we met more and more people along the journey, we noticed there was a lot of different types of pain. And then what we began to see is that people were saying, man, I feel seen, I feel hurt, I feel understood because of what someone else is walking. They're walking through the same thing that I'm walking through. And I think the enemy loves to tell us,

we are the only person going through what we're going through. Yes, absolutely. And pain is pain.

Obviously, there's varying degrees of what that looks like. But when I first started listening to the podcast in the very beginning, my story was not

on this podcast.

I didn't hear any like my story, but I still took so much comfort in just hearing people

navigate the unexpected, their worst nightmare, whatever that was, which was me too.

And so even that alone

before the stories evolved into what happened to me, that that was comforting. That brought me

a lot of healing, just that. That's so good. That's so good. Now we have so many episodes and so

many different pieces of resources that we've started creating these things called curated pathways, which if you've listened to our podcast, any number of, you know, episodes, you're going to have heard this, whether through an ad or the rest just talking about it. But it is our way of saying, okay, well, let us kind of, you know, thumb through all of the different
