How do you trust God when your life looks completely different than the one you originally planned?

This week, Karol Holmes, a mother of seven and passionate advocate for families raising children with disabilities, joins Jaime for an honest conversation on navigating trauma and grief based on her newest book, Only Jesus Knows: Loving the World's Most Vulnerable.

In this episode, Karol shares her powerful testimony of temporarily hosting a critically ill baby from Haiti—a decision that led to adopting three children with significant developmental and medical needs. 

Karol also tackles the extreme isolation families impacted by disability often face—especially within the church—and offers practical advice on how the body of Christ can step up to provide meaningful, tangible support.

Karol also opens up about the devastating loss of two of her children, sharing how she learned to survive the darkest trenches of grief by focusing on "whatever comes next." You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on the biblical practice of lament, and how honestly pouring out your pain to God can transform your deepest sorrow into genuine praise.

Visit lovingtheleast.com to connect with Karol and pick up a copy of Only Jesus Knows, which tells the heart-warming story of her son Moise while offering vital, step-by-step resources for navigating the journey of raising adults with developmental disabilities.
