Faith Broussard Cade: From Trauma to Triumph Through Jesus Calling
When Life Changes in an Instant
Have you ever felt like your life was on track, only for everything to change in a single moment? That’s exactly what happened to Faith Broussard Cade, a young school counselor in Atlanta, Georgia. One morning, she was sipping coffee at a stoplight, planning her day. Next, her world flipped upside down when a tractor-trailer slammed into her car.
The crash in 2017 left her with a traumatic brain injury. Suddenly, she faced fatigue, memory loss, insomnia, and constant migraines. Her career, finances, and identity crumbled overnight. Maybe you’ve faced your own version of that moment, the day life didn’t go according to your plan.
Choosing Faith Over Fear
At first, Faith had a choice: live in self-pity or rise in hope. She chose hope. She began writing short, handwritten affirmations, fifteen at first, just to encourage herself. She posted them online for accountability.
What happened next was remarkable. Those notes spread far beyond her kitchen table. Celebrities like Viola Davis and Katie Couric reposted them. Millions found encouragement in her simple words. What started as survival became a calling.
A New Chapter: Hosting Jesus Calling
Today, Faith Broussard Cade is more than a survivor. She’s a mental health advocate, author, and host of Season 4 of “Jesus Calling: Stories of Faith.” The show, inspired by Sarah Young’s best-selling devotional, brings together voices from all walks of life, actors, musicians, and even creators like Dallas Jenkins of The Chosen.
Faith admits she never dreamed of being in front of the camera. But when HarperCollins invited her to host, she said yes because Jesus Calling had already transformed her own walk with God.
Healing in the Midst of Struggle
Faith doesn’t sugarcoat her story. She is honest: recovery is still ongoing. She still wakes up tired. She still fights migraines. She still has to push through hard days as a wife and mom. Yet she testifies that God meets her in her pain.
Sometimes prayer looks like words. Other times, it looks like tears. She believes God hears it all. That’s powerful encouragement for anyone who feels like they’re failing in faith when they can’t find the words to pray.
The Heart of Her Message
Through her story and through Jesus Calling, Faith reminds us of one life-changing truth: you are already enough because God made you. You don’t have to earn His love. You don’t have to perform for His approval.
When life takes an unexpected turn, we all need to hear what she tells herself each morning: “You’re going to be OK. God is with you. Keep going.”
