What if the story you’re living right now—yes, even the painful parts—is being written by God with more intention than you can see? In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, we sit down with our dear friends Joe and Tamara Battaglia, and we promise you this conversation will move you. You’ll laugh, you may cry, and you’ll walk away reminded that nothing in your life is random. Joe’s journey through Christian media, Tamara’s deeply personal miracles of motherhood, the heartbreaks, the waiting seasons, and the surprising love story God orchestrated between them—it all points to one powerful truth: God is always working behind the scenes, even when we don’t recognize it in the moment. Tamara shares the heart behind her devotional, Written in Heaven—a collection of real stories from women who’ve walked through infertility, loss, divorce, illness, loneliness, and restoration. These aren’t polished testimonies; they’re honest, faith-filled reminders that God sees you, hears you, and is still writing your story. We also talk about marriage, purpose, second chances, loneliness, worship as warfare, and why sharing your story—no matter how ordinary it feels—might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
