Embark on a deeply personal journey of resilience, hope, and healing with Curtis Christopher and co-host Chris Farrell on the "Run to the Hard" podcast.

    Ep 49: She Lost Her Son, Then Her Husband. Three Children Still Needed Her.

    Losing a child. Losing a husband. Raising three grandchildren while carrying both losses.   How do you grieve when everyone still needs you?   In this episode of Run to the Hard, Curtis Christopher sits down with Tina Allen for an honest conversation about child loss, widowhood, addiction in the family, and trusting God when life keeps getting harder.   Tina remembers her son Cody as a bright, compassionate boy who loved people. As he grew older, addiction changed his life and their family. She shares the painful lessons of loving a child through addiction, setting boundaries, and stepping in with her husband Tim to raise Cody's three children.   In May 2022, Cody died at 31 from health complications. Tina was hospitalized herself when she learned she needed to get to his bedside. She held her son as he passed away, then returned to the hospital for her own treatment. A meaningful day of conversation and prayer shortly before his death remains a source of comfort.   The following year, Tim was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Five months later, Tina lost the husband who had helped her carry everything.   Now raising three grandchildren without him, Tina speaks openly about grief that feels unfinished, the loss of the life she expected, and learning who she is after losing both her son and her spouse.   This conversation makes room for sorrow and faith, exhaustion and love, questions and hope. If you are grieving a child or spouse, raising grandchildren, or loving someone through addiction, we hope Tina's story helps you feel less alone.   IN THIS EPISODE   - A mother's experience of loving a son through drug addiction - The difference between helping and enabling a loved one - Grandparents raising grandchildren through kinship care - Becoming parents again at 50 - Losing an adult child and finding comfort in their final conversations - Grieving while children still depend on you - Losing a husband to pancreatic cancer - Widowhood, caregiving, and raising children after loss - How grief changes your identity, relationships, and faith - Finding Christian hope without pretending the pain is over   CHAPTERS   00:00 Holding her son, then returning to her own hospital 00:28 Meet Tina Allen: child loss, widowhood, and raising grandchildren 03:41 Remembering Tim: the man who never met a stranger 05:31 How Tina and Tim's love story began 09:31 The grocery-store story that captures Tim 11:16 Remembering Cody before addiction 15:36 When her son's struggle with addiction began 21:51 Tough love and the strain on a family 23:16 Taking custody of their granddaughter 26:31 Learning to help without giving money 29:06 Learning two more grandchildren were coming 33:26 Kinship care and saying yes to the twins 37:06 Becoming parents again at 50 37:46 Compassion and boundaries with the children's parents 41:46 Mother and son hospitalized at the same time 44:41 The call that brought Tina to Cody's bedside 47:51 Their final Friday together 52:16 Holding her son and finding peace amid heartbreak 54:46 Returning to the hospital after her son's death 56:41 The unexpected help with Cody's funeral 58:36 Grieving while three children still need you 1:02:21 Tim's symptoms and the search for answers 1:07:51 The pancreatic cancer diagnosis 1:11:01 Five months of treatment and caregiving 1:16:06 Tim's fear of leaving his family 1:20:31 "I should be able to be their grandma" 1:22:31 Encouragement for grandparents raising children 1:27:06 Who am I after these losses? 1:28:01 Grief, emotional walls, and a smaller circle 1:33:36 "I thought God would make Tim a miracle story" 1:34:26 Tim's gratitude for 19 more years 1:35:21 How loss changes relationships and priorities 1:38:26 A message to parents facing a child's addiction 1:44:26 When grief, relief, and guilt coexist 1:45:46 Tim's legacy: love deeply and care for your family 1:48:16 A prayer for grieving parents, widows, and grandparents   ABOUT RUN TO THE HARD   Run to the Hard is a podcast about grief, suffering, faith, hope, and finding life after loss.   The show was inspired by Michal Christopher's words:   "Run to the hard, run to the hurt because it's in the greatest hard that God's gonna do the greatest work."   You do not have to have a neat ending to share your story.

    Ep 48: Keeping The Faith When Life Falls Apart. A Story of Loss, Addiction, Divorce, and Cancer | Darlene Radel

    Sudden tragedy. A broken marriage. Hidden alcoholism. Divorce. Breast cancer.   Darlene has faced seasons when the losses kept coming—and prayers did not bring the outcomes she hoped for.   In this episode of Run to the Hard, Curtis Christopher sits down with Darlene Radel, a longtime prayer partner for his family, to hear the story behind her faith.   At 13, she lost her three-year-old cousin in a devastating accident. Years later, a drunk-driving crash killed her future father-in-law and changed the man she would marry. As their marriage unraveled, Darlene began drinking to cover pain she did not know how to face.   A close friend's intervention helped her enter a year of faith-based recovery. But healing did not mean the hardships were over. Her marriage ended, and after rebuilding her life, she faced breast cancer, major surgeries, and treatment complications that nearly took her life.   Darlene shares honestly about grief, shame, unanswered prayer, accepting help, and finding a faith that could carry her through a life she never would have chosen.   If you have ever wondered how much more you can take—or where God is in the middle of it—we hope this conversation reminds you that you are seen, loved, and do not have to face the hard alone.   IN THIS EPISODE - Childhood tragedy, sudden loss, and wrestling with unanswered prayer - How a fatal drunk-driving crash affected her future husband and their marriage - A husband's rejection of faith and the pain of a struggling marriage - Losing herself while trying to save her relationship - Hidden alcoholism and using alcohol to cope with grief and emotional pain - The intervention that helped her accept help for alcohol addiction - Faith-based recovery and healing from childhood trauma - Navigating divorce and rebuilding life after marriage - Facing a breast cancer diagnosis without a spouse - Surviving serious complications after a double mastectomy - How prayer, family, and friendship supported her through suffering - Trusting God when healing does not look the way you hoped   CHAPTERS   00:00 A childhood tragedy she never forgot 00:36 Darlene's story of loss, addiction, and faith 03:21 Praying for Michal through her cancer battle 06:26 Childhood hardship and a family rooted in faith 09:16 Her grandmother's legacy of prayer 11:51 The sudden death of her three-year-old cousin 16:51 Unanswered prayer: "Why didn't I get my miracle?" 20:46 Meeting her future husband 22:26 A fatal drunk-driving crash changes their family 27:26 Marriage, motherhood, and growing emotional distance 31:26 Renewed faith and hope for their marriage 37:01 When her husband rejected their Christian faith 39:01 Grief, unresolved pain, and the need for healing 41:36 Losing herself while trying to save her marriage 45:21 Hidden alcoholism behind work and church 49:11 Drinking to cope with loneliness and despair 50:46 When her family discovered her alcohol addiction 54:31 A friend's intervention becomes a turning point 59:26 Discovering a personal faith in Jesus 1:01:31 Alcohol was a Band-Aid over deeper wounds 1:04:16 A year of faith-based addiction recovery 1:06:36 Becoming a prayer partner for Curtis's family 1:09:26 Divorce after recovery and rebuilding her life 1:13:16 Finding purpose through missions and returning to Ohio 1:18:46 The mammogram that led to a breast cancer diagnosis 1:23:51 Praying for a friend with multiple myeloma 1:29:46 Double mastectomy, sepsis, and life-threatening complications 1:33:26 How Michal's faith inspired her through cancer 1:36:41 Learning to trust God with the outcome 1:39:06 Hope for anyone feeling lonely or unseen 1:41:11 Bible verses for fear, anxiety, and faith 1:44:31 Curtis remembers a joyful moment with Michal 1:50:46 A prayer for healing, comfort, and hope   ABOUT RUN TO THE HARD   Run to the Hard is a podcast about grief, suffering, faith, hope, and finding life after loss.   The show was inspired by Michal Christopher's words:   "Run to the hard, run to the hurt because it's in the greatest hard that God's gonna do the greatest work."   You do not have to have a neat ending to share your story.

She calls herself the luckiest girl in the world.   Between treatments, she's using the days she feels well to build care packages for other cancer patients. At the time of this conversation, she had delivered 100—and she wasn't ready to stop.   In this episode of Run to the Hard, Annelise joins Curtis Christopher to share her story: a childhood shaped by addiction and instability, finding family with her husband Connor, becoming a mom to Dawson, and receiving her first breast cancer diagnosis at 25.   When the cancer returned, Annelise faced the fear of leaving her son and the question of how to live with a future she couldn't control. She shares how her faith deepened, how a friendship formed through chemotherapy helped her feel less alone, and why ordinary days with her family became precious.   The conversation takes an emotional turn when Annelise asks Curtis about the spouses who are carrying the weight of a loved one's illness. Curtis shares the phone call from Connor that helped him find the courage to keep telling these stories.   For anyone facing illness, walking alongside someone who is, or wondering how to find purpose in a hard season, Annelise offers an honest picture of faith, fear, gratitude, and serving others while the struggle is still happening.   This episode includes personal accounts of childhood instability, advanced cancer, the possibility of leaving loved ones, and grief after the death of a spouse.   IN THIS EPISODE • Growing up without a stable relationship with her parents • Finding family, marriage, and faith • A breast cancer diagnosis at 25 • The phone call that changed everything again • Trusting God with a future she can't control • A friendship formed through chemotherapy • Learning to treasure the ordinary days • Creating care packages for other cancer patients • Remembering the spouses and caregivers • Why she calls herself the luckiest girl in the world   CHAPTERS 00:00 The cancer had returned 00:36 Meet Annelise Hines 05:16 A childhood shaped by addiction and instability 09:56 Finding a home with a friend's family 12:16 Losing her grandmother and caring for her grandfather 17:16 Meeting Connor 19:36 Marriage, motherhood, and starting a business 24:01 Finding faith through her new family 27:21 Diagnosed with breast cancer at 25 31:21 The headaches and the call that changed everything 34:06 Facing the news and learning to trust God 40:06 Finding a friend who understood 43:46 Allison's message to Annelise 46:46 The family praying for her every night 49:21 Treasuring the ordinary Tuesdays 50:06 Care packages for other cancer patients 54:41 Who is caring for the spouse? 56:56 Connor's call and why Curtis kept going 1:00:36 How this journey changed her faith 1:02:16 Making her time count 1:05:56 "The luckiest girl in the world" 1:07:01 The message she wants to leave 1:09:51 A prayer for more days 1:11:41 Help Annelise's care-package mission 1:13:36 Supporting the Michal Foundation   SUPPORT THE WORK   HELP ANNELISE CREATE CARE PACKAGES: Venmo: @annelise-hines Add "care packages" in the payment note to help her provide care packages for cancer patients.   DONATE TO THE MICHAL FOUNDATION: https://www.runtothehard.com/give   1.

    Ep 43: Healing Childhood Hurt and Finding Purpose with R.D. Saunders

    A college assignment asked R.D. Saunders to write about his family. What surfaced was years of childhood pain—and a decision: "I will not be a bad father." Growing up with an abusive father who struggled with alcoholism, R.D. carried hurt he hadn't fully faced. In this conversation with Curtis Christopher, he shares how God began a work of healing in a college dorm room—and how he eventually returned to lead that same school, Ohio Christian University. Together, they explore the pain we bury, the people who help us heal, and how those experiences can shape a life of service. Curtis also shares how his late wife Michal's example helped him begin reaching toward others through his own grief. IN THIS EPISODE: • The grandfather who became the father figure R.D. needed. • The writing assignment that brought hidden hurt to the surface. • The emotional "junk drawer" where we store unresolved pain. • Why R.D. initially turned down the university presidency. • How Isaiah 61 shaped his vision for helping students heal and grow. • Why supporting someone through grief begins with listening, humility, and knowing when to seek help.
