When God Answered My Hardest Question
In this powerful episode of Talking Testimony Jeanie sits down with Julie — a Belfast-born, Australia-based woman of faith — to explore an extraordinary life shaped by God's protection, provision, and relentless pursuit. From narrowly escaping abduction as a child during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, to hearing God's voice in a single word ("Wollongong"), Julie shares raw, honest stories of faith in action.
They discuss:
-Growing up during The Troubles in Belfast and its lasting impact
-Childlike faith, miracles, and the power of written prayers
-How Julie wrestled with God over her child Oliver's LGBTQ+ identity
-Why she believes God loves every person — no exceptions
-Serving others through Local Community Ventures and humanitarian work
-What it means to hear God's voice and act on it
-Finding authentic Christian community after years of skepticism
Whether you're a believer, a seeker, or someone who's been hurt by the church, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
