What do you do when you're following God, trusting Him, praying, and life still becomes harder than you ever imagined? In this episode of Echos of Impact, Briana sits down with singer, poet, author, speaker, and creative Juliet Dawn for a deeply personal conversation about faith through abuse, miscarriage, infant loss, trauma, unanswered prayer, and the long road of continuing to come back to Jesus. Juliet grew up with strong roots of faith, but at 21 she prayed a prayer that would stay with her for decades: "I just want to make a difference no matter the cost." What followed was a life she never could have predicted — including an abusive relationship, multiple miscarriages, the devastating loss of her twin boys, Louis and Elliot, serious health struggles, and another complicated pregnancy with her son Leo. One of the most powerful parts of Juliet's story is the tension between what happened with her twins and what happened when she became pregnant with Leo. After praying for a miracle for her twins and not receiving the answer she desperately wanted, Juliet found herself praying again — this time without knowing what the outcome would be. She shares how she continued to hold onto faith even when she couldn't predict what God would do. Juliet also shares the story behind her song "There's a Time," which she wrote with her mother around the same season she prayed that prayer at 21. The recording was lost for more than three decades, only to resurface after Juliet had lived through so much of what the song spoke about. Looking back, she could finally see it as a thread God had placed in her story long before she understood why she would need it. This conversation isn't about pretending hard things don't hurt. It's about what it can look like to keep turning toward Jesus when life doesn't make sense, healing takes longer than you hoped, and you're tired of asking, When is this going to end? A quick note before listening: This episode includes conversations about abuse, miscarriage, infant loss, grief, and trauma. Please listen with care.
