Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast.

I'm Gwen Smith, and I'm so glad you've joined me today.

Around here, we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations, all to help you know

and trust God more.

Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always practical.

And they're going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace

of Jesus in the midst of cluttered, messy days.

You got any of those?

I know I do, and I can't wait to get to today's conversation, which is about finding

hope, healing, and restoration in the power of God's love.

My guest is Wendy Blight. Wendy's a member of the Proverbs 31 ministry team, and she's a Bible

teacher whose heart's desire is to help women fall in love with God's word. She's also a speaker

and the author of several books in Bible studies, including her most recent, I am loved.

I really had a great time talking with Wendy. As always, we had a bunch of fun on the front end,

and then dove deep into a complicated conversation about Wendy's story of pain and trauma.

And she shared about how God rescued her from a very dark place that was filled with fear, anxiety, doubt, and

confusion, and how his love and his word led her to a place of strength, healing, and hope.

At the end of this episode, she prayed for every one of you listening to experience the

power of God's love in fresh, compelling, and personal ways. If you've ever found yourself asking God

why, if you've ever grappled with God, been wounded by trauma, had questions about God's

goodness, or felt trapped by anxiety, fear, or darkness, then today's episode with Wendy Blight

is really going to help you move forward towards the peace and power that we all long to possess.
