Episode description as stored
In this hope-filled episode of The Jesus People Podcast, author and mother of six Katie Blackburn (Coffee & Crumbs contributor and writer of The Very Best Baseball Game) opens up about shepherding her family through a perfect storm of spousal addiction, painful divorce, and raising a child with severe autism—all while clinging to the quiet strength of biblical meekness.
From carrying her overwhelmed son half a mile home to discovering the power of community that “just shows up,” Katie’s raw testimony reveals how Jesus supplies fresh grace every single day. Her story will encourage anyone facing single-parent challenges, disability parenting, or the heart-wrenching fallout of addiction.
Key Highlights
Navigating meth & alcohol addiction in marriage and the road to rehab
Choosing forgiveness over bitterness after a faith-shattering divorce
Real-life strategies for single moms: teamwork, asking for help & refusing to quit
Parenting a child with severe autism—meltdowns, public stares, and unexpected joys
Turning pain into purpose: writing a children’s book that champions disability inclusion
Practical ways friends & churches can love families in crisis (what to do—and NOT do)
“We’re grace chasers now—every day we wake up asking, ‘Where’s the grace?’” —Katie
If you or someone you love feels buried by divorce, addiction, or special-needs parenting, Katie’s journey proves that God’s peace can still rule the chaos. No story is too messy for His redemption.
