Healer & Hope Giver: A Christian Podcast on Healing, Faith & Identity
Healer & Hope Giver: A Christian Podcast on Healing, Faith & Identity
There are seasons when life looks steady on the outside but feels heavy on the inside.
This Christian podcast is a space for honest conversations about healing, faith, grief, identity, spiritual growth, and the quiet work God does in the middle of real life.
Hosted by author and speaker Kim Hawkins, Healer & Hope Giver: Practicing Out Loud explores what it means to live from who God says you are — not from pressure, performance, or old narratives that no longer fit.
Each week you’ll find:
• Long-form episodes on healing and growth in everyday life
• Devotional episodes rooted in Scripture with real-life application
• Gentle encouragement for anyone navigating grief, change, leadership, identity shifts, or spiritual formation
If you’ve ever felt:
– like you’re the steady one everyone leans on
– like healing is happening but still unfolding
– like faith is real but complicated
– or like you’re carrying more than you can explain
You are not alone.
This is a faith-based podcast for those who want depth, not noise. For those who love God but are still becoming. For those learning to loosen their grip and live with open hands.
New episodes release every Monday (long-form) and Thursday (devotional).

You don’t have to rush your healing.
You just have to stay.

A Heart Learning to Hope Again
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After seasons of guarded expectation, loss, and borrowed belonging, hope doesn’t always return loudly. Sometimes it comes back quietly — in the way your breath steadies, in the way you stop bracing for rejection, in the way you begin to take up space without apology.
In this episode, Kim reflects on what it looks like when a heart learns to hope again — not for outcomes, but for belonging.
📖 EXPANDED SHOW NOTES
In this long-form episode, Kim explores how hope narrows after disappointment and slowly returns through safety, belonging, and lived experience.
Through personal stories of:
• a failed adoption placement and the guarded hope that followed
• returning to work while carrying invisible grief
• years of bracing for loss
• a breakthrough health milestone
• traveling alone for the first time in over a decade
• and realizing her clearest memories began when she first experienced relational safety
she reflects on what it means to stop borrowing belonging and begin embodying it.
This episode gently unpacks:
• how peacekeeping wiring can shape identity
• why hope sometimes becomes something we handle carefully
• how safety affects memory and confidence
• what quiet authority looks like after endurance
• and how healing refines our wiring without erasing it
Sitting within ARC 2: Healing While Life Keeps Moving, this conversation is not about dramatic transformation. It is about integration.
Hope here is not loud.
It is steady.
It is earned.
And it is possible.
