In this short, heartfelt episode, Anna shares a vulnerable story about reading aloud to her children while navigating dyslexia—and how that struggle does not define her. Rooted in Scripture, she points us to the unshakable truth that our identity is found in Christ alone. If motherhood feels overwhelming, this episode will encourage you to keep showing up, lean on Jesus, and let Him use your weaknesses for His glory.

Episode Highlights

  • A candid story of reading The Horse and His Boy with her kids and the real-time frustrations of dyslexia
  • Reframing identity: we are made in God’s image—our struggles don’t define us
  • Learning to press into God when weaknesses surface daily (word-finding, giving directions, conversations)
  • Finding unexpected gifts: how writing became a lifeline and a way to point back to the gospel
  • Encouragement to view personal struggles as opportunities for God’s power to shine

Key Scriptures

  • Genesis 1:26–27 — Made in God’s image
  • 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 — God’s power made perfect in weakness; His grace is sufficient

Quote to Remember

“Dyslexia does not define me. My identity comes from who I am in Christ.”
