Get Real with Caroline Hobby

Becca Stevens is one of the women I look up to the most in this world. She is an Episcopalian Priest, she has written a dozen books, she is a mother of 3 grown outstanding young talented men, a wife to Marcus Hummon who is one of the most profound hit songwriters in town, she is a survivor of abuse and a safe haven for women who need healing and refuge. In this episode I broke down in tears several times bc I am so overwhelmed with all of the suffering in the world right now, especially children suffering. I think I broke down bc Becca is that holy, safe place that I knew would hold my sadness and fear, yet also guide me back to God. After the interview I couldn’t stop thinking about how much she serves those in need and suffering. I kept wondering “how does she hold all of this suffering for everyone and stay so light?” I am so burdened by sad news and it often time all-consumes me. Becca blesses all those she comes in contact with, speaks healing into their life, and turns something that feels destroyed into God’s glory. She has seen so much pain, yet she never loses faith and her love for God. Instead, she sees the beauty in life and freely expresses her sacred feelings. Lately she has been sharing her rants about life. They have deeply moved me and given me the confidence to share my own rants. This episode is a gift. Becca is a gift.
