Your Setback Is a Setup: A Single Mom’s Miracle in the Wilderness

You're in the desert. The Promised Land is nowhere in sight. Where is God? In Prescott, Arizona, Physician Assistant Tammy Frost joins Garrett Hamlin to talk about being "in the middle of the miracle." She shares a fractured neck at 13, an injury her own healthcare team dismissed, a 2008 shooting where her mother stepped in front of a bullet meant for her, and the day she moved her three kids across the country as a single mom with no money, after fasting and praying. That is the epitome of stepping out and crossing a threshold in pure faith. If you're in a season of waiting, this one is for you. IN THIS EPISODE Why God's miracle is often in the sustaining, not just the arrival How Tammy's mother taught her to fast and pray, and how to discern the Holy Spirit's voice What it looked like to move from Arizona to Pennsylvania on faith alone The scholarship she applied for in May and didn't hear about until October, after she made the move Why she practices medicine the way she does: by listening The day God didn't give her a clear answer, and what she did next Her vision for a healing campus with staff housing and outdoor exam rooms ABOUT OUR GUEST Tammy Frost is a physician assistant and the founder of Grace Direct Primary Care in Prescott, Arizona. https://choosegrace.life/ Tammy's story is her personal testimony and is not medical advice.
