In this episode on Advent Media Connect, I sit down with our sister Coutura Rucker to share a testimony that carries real weight—faith in the middle of grief, trauma, and loss. We introduce her background: raised Adventist in Brooklyn, wanting “freedom” as a teen, later building a family through years of military life and career work. Then tragedy strikes—her oldest son Kaday dies in a car accident at 19. From there, we talk about what it looks like when God leads you through a healing journey that isn’t a quick fix: grief counseling, Bible studies, prayer meetings, and learning to stay connected to the Vine. Coutura shares how the Lord used her pain to shape her mission—turning “misery into ministry.” We highlight Revelation 12:11, because testimonies matter in end-time warfare: “they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” She also opens up about childhood wounds, spiritual formation, and how God can be a perfect Father even when earthly fathers fail. The takeaway is simple but not shallow: when the enemy attacks, you lean in—intimate time with God, the Word found and “eaten,” and the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6) so you can stand.
