What happens when the people who love you most aren’t related by blood?

In this deeply personal and faith-centered episode of Failure Into Freedom, Katie shares how God builds divine community and chosen family in seasons of exhaustion, crisis, and healing. Recorded during a week marked by illness, emergency room visits, and overwhelming stress, this episode is a powerful reminder that God’s provision often comes through people.

Through Scripture, testimony, and real-life examples, we explore what it means to find your tribe — a God-ordained community that loves without conditions, without keeping score, and without expectation of return.

If you’ve ever wondered why the people who show up for you the most don’t share your last name — this episode will remind you that God is intentional about the people He places in your life.

You are not broken.

You are not abandoned.

God is still building your tribe.
