The last 72 hours have changed everything for our family. After waking up Sunday in excruciating eye pain, Finley was rushed to her specialists and underwent emergency surgery Monday after doctors discovered an infection inside her eye. Now, we wait. In this episode, I sit down with Finley while we’re still in the middle of the story. She shares what the last few days have been like, her frightening experience coming out of anesthesia, how she’s feeling now, and what it’s like to face another unknown after more than 25 eye surgeries. We don’t know what happens next. But we have hope, we have faith, and we have so many people praying for our girl. Thank you for continuing to pray for Finley. 🤍

She Thought Staying Would Save Her Family. It Nearly Cost Her Life. | Christy Martin

Why does someone stay in a relationship they know is hurting them? In this deeply personal episode of Dallas the Podcast, Dallas Fears sits down with her childhood friend Christy Martin—a woman whose life took a path Dallas never knew was unfolding behind the scenes. Christy shares her journey through addiction, multiple DUIs, prison, abusive relationships, and eventually reaching the realization that if she went back, she might not survive. But this conversation explores something deeper: why she stayed. After experiencing her parents' divorce as a child, Christy became determined to give her own daughters something different. She believed keeping her family together meant she hadn't failed—even as the relationship she was fighting to preserve became increasingly dangerous. Christy opens up about the complicated reality of addiction and domestic abuse, what finally brought her to a place of surrender, and the surprisingly small act of kindness that became part of a major turning point in her life. Today, Christy is using the very experiences that once brought her pain and shame to help people walking through addiction and brokenness themselves. This is a conversation about the difference between giving up and surrendering, the power of grace, and the truth that even the hardest chapter of your life doesn't have to become the final one. There is still hope. Subscribe to Dallas the Podcast for authentic conversations about faith, family, resilience, purpose, and finding hope through life's hardest seasons.
