When the world turned upside down and the valley called for more than she ever imagined, Beth Benecke chose love. In this raw and powerful conversation, Beth shares her journey of caring for her husband through stage-four cancer, the moment God whispered “It’s not your job to save him—it’s your job to love him”, and how grief became both her darkest valley and the soil where God planted new hope.You’ll hear about surrender that feels like weeping on the floor, why vulnerability invites miracles, and how community, therapy, creativity, and worship became Beth’s lifeline. She opens up about raising her four kids in the middle of loss, the ways God reminded her He was present help in trouble, and how her healing flowed into songwriting that birthed her debut EP Snowdrop.This is a story of grit, grace, and the God who can bring spring even in the coldest winter.Highlights“Staying stuck in the why won’t help me face what’s before me.”“It’s not your job to save him—it’s your job to love him.”Living from love, not striving for love.Vulnerability disarms shame and makes room for miracles.Healing is body, soul, and spirit—counseling, creativity, and the presence of God.Snowdrops bloom even while snow still covers the ground.Resources MentionedPsalm 46 — God is our refuge and present help in trouble.Nothing Is Wasted – Pain to Purpose CourseSongs in the Night – Widow’s MinistryChristian Counseling (seek out local, faith-based licensed counselors)Brainspotting (BSP) & ART – Accelerated Resolution Therapy (trauma healing modalities)Beth’s EP – Snowdrop → Listen hereConnect with BethReach out to connect with Beth through me at the Rise Up & Radiate Podcast, and be sure to listen to her music linked above.The darkness is not a detour—it might be the very place God refines you for your destiny.
