Embracing Grace with Cindy Nicolson

In this heartfelt and transformative episode, I sit down with Dawn Ward, the author of: ‘From Guilt to Grace’ and the founder of the Facebook community 'Christian Moms of Addicted Children.'
Growing up in a household marked by addiction and now walking the difficult path as a mother of children facing similar struggles, Dawn shares her powerful journey marked by deep faith, resilience, and hard-won wisdom.
We delve into essential questions like,
"Is fear driving your decisions?" and explore the tension between control and faith.
Dawn opens up about the emotional and spiritual battle of trying to 'fix' versus choosing to let go and trust God with the healing process. Our conversation touches on what true surrender looks like and how to recognize blind spots that can hinder growth and healing. And more importantly - how the answers you need are found in His presence.
Together, we discuss the importance of building a supportive community and how her own experiences led her to create a space where Christian moms can find understanding and encouragement. One of the most moving parts of our discussion is Dawn's 'tombstone revelation' – a profound insight that reshaped her perspective on life and love.
Whether you’re a parent navigating similar challenges or seeking encouragement in your own faith journey, this episode is a powerful reminder that, even in the most difficult moments, God’s grace and healing are always within reach.

The bible refers to our bodies as the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit’. That’s actually quite a big deal if you think about it. Our bodies, in essence, are where the Holy Spirit lives.
Well, are you taking care of the home that the Holy Spirit lives in? I know I haven’t been. Even though I’ve had some pretty serious health issues over the years, you’d think I was paying more attention to my health. But to be honest, it has never been much of a priority to me, until recently when I had a blow to my health which I know was because I neglected to take care of myself. Jesus came to give us life and life abundantly - we should be living in that.
