Faithful Through the Fire with Jody Hudson

This week’s episode is one of the most powerful and faith-filled conversations I’ve had. I’m joined by Jody Hudson, CEO and Founder of the Alex Hudson Lyme Foundation and author of My Promise to Alex. Jody shares the unimaginable story of losing her daughter to Lyme disease — and the promise that now fuels her mission to raise awareness and help others. But her story doesn’t start there. Jody opens up about a life marked by hardship — growing up in foster care, navigating adoption, facing alcoholism in her family, bankruptcy, divorce, and ultimately the loss of a child. And yet, through it all, her life is a testimony of faith, prayer, and resilience. This conversation is about trusting God in the middle of pain, holding onto hope when life doesn’t make sense, and choosing to use your story to encourage others. Jody’s strength is steady, grounded, and rooted in something far greater than circumstances. It's a reminder that by God’s grace, even the hardest stories can become a source of light for someone else.
