Halfway to Sunday

What Survives the Wreck? w/ Nicole Gibson | Ep 89

Episode Summary

Today we’re talking about what happens when life shatters and how Jesus meets us there. My guest, Nicole Gibson, is an engineer, a mom, and the author of Shattered Into Grace. She survived a devastating accident, memory loss, and deep grief and found her way back to God through honest prayer, community, and recovering her self-worth in Christ. If you’ve felt alone, guilty, or stuck, this conversation is a gentle on-ramp to hope and healing one small “yes” at a time.

Episode Notes

Engineer and author Nicole Gibson shares how a tragic accident left her with a traumatic brain injury, memory loss, and years of emotional fallout. In the dark, she questioned God and later discovered He’d been present all along. Nicole traces the slow rebuild: vulnerable prayer in her room, steady friends who wouldn’t let go, Scripture, church, and a return to self-worth that changed her choices. We talk grief after losing her boyfriend, the cost of telling the truth in a memoir, and why small daily practices like Bible, worship, community keep you moving toward Jesus. Nicole’s mission now is to help women grow through trauma, offering practical hope and a reminder: you are seen and deeply loved.
