Fearfully & Wonderfully Diagnosed
Welcome to a space where faith meets the hard and holy parts of womanhood. In this podcast, host Shelby Payne shares her journey through chronic illness, PCOS, endometriosis, and the slow, beautiful process of trusting God through it all.
Whether you’re navigating a painful diagnosis, waiting on a miracle, or simply trying to make sense of your story—this podcast is for you. Through honest conversations, biblical encouragement, and vulnerability, Shelby invites you to see purpose in your pain and reminds you that you’re not alone.
Here, we don’t rush healing. We hold space for grief, hope, faith, and truth—and we learn to ask not just “God, take this away” but “God, how can I honor You through this?”
You are seen. You are loved. And your story matters.
