Faith that Doesn’t Fade: My Dad’s Legacy Through Disability
~ with Adriane Stuebs
In this heartfelt solo episode, Adriane shares the powerful story of her dad — a passionate pastor, devoted father, and man of deep faith. Once a strong spiritual leader with a voice that reached many, his life drastically changed after a brain aneurysm left him bedridden for the past 15 years.
But his story doesn’t end there.
Through pain, loss, and unexpected turns, God’s faithfulness has never wavered. This is a testimony of how God is near to the brokenhearted, how nothing happens outside of His will, and how He continues to use Adriane’s dad’s life to inspire, teach, and reflect the love of Christ — even from a place of stillness.
If you’ve ever questioned God’s plan in suffering or wondered how He works through weakness, this episode is for you.

“I had never knew my dad as anything but strong. I’d never seen him be afraid. I knew his rock was Jesus. Over time we discovered that my dad had a mass in his head…The doctor said it was the biggest aneurysm he had ever seen, and they weren’t sure what to do with it.”

“I had to accept whatever my heavenly father had in store for my earthly father…I fell to my knees and prayed, Lord, you are my Father in heaven and I have to let go of my dad out of love for you…I love him and thank you for him, but you are my God.”
