    Jan 7 2025

    In this episode, Robin Klebba shares her journey of rediscovering faith and deepening her relationship with God—despite growing up in the church and attending Bible college. Through seasons of hardship, doubt, and personal wrestling, Robin encountered God in a new way, transforming her previous understanding of God and developing a new sense of purpose.

    If you were raised in a Christian home or have a strong biblical foundation but find yourself questioning, struggling, or unsure of your next steps because God feels ever so distant, this episode is for you.

    About Robin Klebba:

    I'm Robin. A beloved by God as my primary identity with several others flowing out: I’m married to my husband Trent, just celebrated 10 years. We have a five year old son, Courage, who is one of the biggest joys in my life. I love to go on walks, share deeply with anyone who wants to talk, sing and listen to music, and write. I’m a seeker of God, the hurting, beauty, and truth.
