FLOURISH-MEANT
PODCAST
HOST: TINA YEAGER
How can we find purposeful living, even when facing chronic illness?
In today’s episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with Christy Award-winning novelist Katie Powner to discuss purposeful living in the face of chronic illness. Together, they delve into how limitations can shape our character, draw us into deeper connections with others, and open unexpected doors to meaning and resilience. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness yourself or supporting a loved one who is, this conversation offers authentic insights, practical encouragement, and a reminder that every life—no matter the challenges—has extraordinary value and purpose. Join us and discover how God’s grace can transform even our greatest struggles into opportunities for growth and connection.
Key Takeaways:
- Limitations as Growth Opportunities: Chronic illness often shrinks what we think is possible, but Katie discusses how it can actually open avenues for spiritual growth, authentic connection, and even leadership through vulnerability.
- The Power of Prayer: When daily routines are upended and we can’t “do” as much, prayer remains a powerful, purposeful act that is always accessible—and profoundly impactful.
- Purpose Beyond Our Expectations: Sometimes God’s plans for us don’t align with what we’d choose or imagine. True meaning emerges as we trust Him, invite others in, and see ripple effects in our communities.
- Ordinary Life, Extraordinary Impact: Katie’s stories spotlight regular people facing tough circumstances—reminding us that anyone, in any setting, can do something extraordinary with God’s help.
Featured Quote:
“Your world is always as big as the Lord and his grace that abounds…the opportunity, the ability to serve the kingdom is still just as great as any other person.” – Katie Powner
