About this listen
In this episode of Inalienable Rights, Justin and Alyssa share an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how their carefully laid plans unraveled—and what it’s been like navigating life’s curveballs with faith and flexibility. Originally planning to relocate to Ohio for clinicals, the Stewards instead found themselves unexpectedly settling in Western New York after car troubles and logistical challenges forced a major pivot.
They open up about the emotional toll of leaving Barbados, the bittersweet farewell to a vibrant community and church family, and the struggle of living in limbo—especially while parenting, studying for exams, and cohabitating with extended family. The couple also shares how they found an unexpected solution for their beloved pets and reflect on the personal and spiritual growth they experienced during their time abroad.
Despite the uncertainty, they remain grounded in their belief that God is faithful through every twist in the journey. If you've ever had plans fall apart or found yourself in an unexpected season, this episode offers both relatability and encouragement.
