Deeply Rooted, Unshakeable STRENGTH: Lamenting Losses Well with Jodi Snowdon | Ep 109

In this deeply moving and hope-filled conversation, Anna sits down with author and speaker Jodi Snowdon to explore what it really looks like to walk through heartbreak with God — and come out stronger, deeper, and more rooted in faith.

Drawing from her own journey through miscarriage, divorce, and the loss of a close friend to cancer, Jodi shares the powerful STRENGTH acrostic that God gave her as she healed. This framework that has become the foundation of her book, Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength. Together, Anna and Jodi discuss how to lament honestly before God, how to navigate ongoing loss, what it means to allow yourself to grieve, and how God chisels our character through the hard places we never asked for.

You’ll hear stories of comfort, compassion, and God’s surprising redemption — including tender accounts of friendship, parenting transitions, and the ministry God has brought out of Jodi’s broken places. They also talk about how to support friends in grief, how to sit with others like “the rabbit who listens,” and how your cracks may be the very places God is preparing to pour out hope to others. This is a conversation that will strengthen your faith, validate your pain, and gently lead you toward the God who meets us in the depths.
