This episode dives into the raw, honest story of a Haley Thomsen, a senior who spent years believing soccer was her identity until two major injuries took the game away and left her asking, “Who am I without this?”
Thomsen shares the anger, the isolation, the brokenness, and the unexpected turning point that came in the form of a single penny and a handwritten note from her mom.
From struggling with faith to rediscovering it one small step at a time — prayer, friends, retreats, quiet moments in the chapel — she found a new identity rooted not in performance, but in Christ.
Her reflection on God planting seeds in the middle of suffering, watering them slowly, and eventually bringing flowers out of the dirt is the kind of hope a lot of us need right now.
Tune in. You’ll walk away encouraged, inspired, and reminded that God never wastes a detour.
