In this powerful conversation, Anna McLaughlin and budgeting coach Katie Fiola Jones dive into the challenges of seeking healing and breakthrough—whether in parenting, health, or finances—and the trap of chasing the “silver bullet” solution. From spending tens of thousands trying to “fix” a child’s health to navigating the long road of biblical stewardship with money, this episode invites listeners to surrender outcomes and trust God’s timing. Both open up about the discomfort of the waiting seasons, the temptation to believe a formula will bring healing, and the deeper call to transformation through faith, surrender, and grace.
