Mandy Horne: What Now God? Finding Purpose in the Unexpected
What happens when life takes a turn you never expected? In this episode of A Woman’s Heart, Lisa sits down with Mandy Horne for an honest and hope-filled conversation about trusting God through life’s transitions.
Mandy shares her journey through major health challenges, including open heart surgery at just 19 years old, and how those experiences reshaped her dreams, strengthened her faith, and ultimately led her into nursing and ministry. From fears about motherhood to raising two children — including a son with autism — Mandy reflects on how God used every season to prepare her for her calling.
Together, Lisa and Mandy talk about the challenges many women face in midlife: empty nest transitions, burnout, caregiving, health struggles, and the feeling of asking, “What now, God?” Mandy encourages listeners to spend time with God, learn to recognize His voice, and trust that even the painful or unexpected parts of life are never wasted.
If you’ve ever struggled with changing seasons, uncertainty about your purpose, or letting go of plans that didn’t unfold the way you imagined, this conversation will remind you that God is still guiding your steps with purpose and hope.
