Blindsighted
SamfunnReligion og åndelighetBlindsighted isn’t just a podcast—it’s a lifeline for those walking through the darkest valleys. Hosted by Karen and Todd Hornsby, this raw and unfiltered series invites you into a story marked by unimaginable pain, loss, and suffering. But this isn’t just about our story. It’s about YOUR story, too. We’re not here to sugarcoat suffering or offer feel-good inspiration that fades by morning. We’re here to validate the ache, the confusion, and the questions that come when life doesn’t make sense—and when God feels far away. The name Blindsighted is rooted in the phenomenon of “blindsight”—where people without sight are still drawn to light they cannot see. That’s what faith feels like sometimes. And in our journey, we’ve learned: - Faith doesn’t make life easy—it makes it possible. - Trusting God’s plan doesn’t mean understanding it. - Victory doesn’t mean escaping suffering—it means enduring with strength, honesty, and hope. Each episode of Blindsighted peels back the layers of our journey through our daughter’s cancer battle, a near-fatal car accident, health diagnoses, and more. We speak candidly about the moments that broke us—and the God who met us there. If you’re walking through something that feels impossible, we want you to know: you're not alone. There’s light—even if you can’t see it yet. Join us. Let’s find victory in the midst of suffering, together.
