About this listen

 If life changed without asking your permission, and yet, you’re still showing up… take a breath—you’re in the right place. Grit, Grace, & Inspiration is for the person rebuilding after adversity. For those who are strong, capable, and functioning… but quietly tired. For anyone asking, “How do I keep going when life changed without my permission?” Here, personal growth isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about learning how to carry what life handed you with mental toughness and grace. Through deeply honest conversations and lived stories—not polished success narratives—you’ll hear from people who’ve been tested and kept going anyway. Stories of resilience, faith that isn’t forced, hope that doesn’t insult your intelligence, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life you didn’t choose. If you’ve ever thought: “I may be strong, but I’m exhausted.” “I just need someone to tell me what to do next.” “I just want life to be good again.” You’re in the right place. I’m Kevin Lowe. At 17 years old, I woke up completely blind after life-saving brain surgery. One moment I had plans, momentum, and a future I could see. The next, everything I thought I knew about my life and identity was gone. There was no roadmap for that kind of loss. No quote that made it make sense. I had to learn—slowly and honestly—how to live inside a life I didn’t choose… and still move forward. This podcast was born from that reality. Not as a performance—but as a conversation. One human to another. Every episode is designed to leave you steadier, not louder. More grounded. More clear. More capable of taking the next step—even if that step is small. If you’re rebuilding after adversity… If you’re learning how to carry what life broke… If you refuse to give up on your life, even when it feels heavy… Welcome. This podcast is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And you don’t have to do this alone.© 2026 Grit, Grace, & Inspiration Personal Development Personal Success Social Sciences

  • 441: If God Is Real, Why Would He Let Bad Things Happen? 3 Stories of Faith, Forgiveness, & Healing #FanFav

    441: If God Is Real, Why Would He Let Bad Things Happen? 3 Stories of Faith, Forgiveness, & Healing #FanFav
    Apr 14 2026

    Have you ever felt like life’s pain is too heavy to bear? That in your darkest moments, as unanswered prayers echo in the night, you’re left wondering, “If God is real, why would He let bad things happen?" Today, join me on a deeply personal journey through sorrow, struggle, and faith as I share stories from my own life that reveal hope amidst heartbreak.

    *This episode originally aired on April 22, 2025 as part of my Easter Special. Some mentioned links and resources may no longer be available, but for any inquiries or questions, reach out to Kevin directly via the website: www.GritGraceInspiration.com

    Is Today's Episode for You?
    • If you’re questioning why you’re facing pain and suffering...
    • If you feel overwhelmed by unanswered prayers and life’s hardships...
    • If you’re looking for authentic insights on personal growth and emotional healing...
    • Or if you’re ready to reclaim your life and explore the power of faith...

    Then yes, today's episode was in fact recorded specifically for you!

    In this episode, I dive deep into one of the toughest questions we often hesitate to ask out loud—why does God allow pain?

    From too many times in hospital waiting rooms and quiet nights filled with unanswered prayers to moments in everyday life that brought me to tears, I share three life-changing stories. Each story is a testament to the truth that even when life feels unbearable, God is there.

    I explore the raw, real moments of vulnerability that ultimately led me to understand that faith isn’t about having an easy life—it’s about finding strength, healing, and unexpected grace in the midst of hardship.

    If you could use a reminder that even on your hardest day God is still there, then press play on today's episode.
