On this episode of Unwritten, we hear from Courtney Roach, host of the "Daily Nothings podcast," as she shares her intensely personal and vulnerable journey during a Jubilee pilgrimage to Rome and Vatican City. Having led 40 women from her podcast community, including her co-host and best friend Megan, Courtney embarked on a dream trip to Italy to experience the graces of walking through the holy doors. However, the journey was not without its challenges. Amidst extreme heat and a disappointing papal audience where Pope Leo unexpectedly changed his route, Courtney found herself exhausted, frustrated, and deeply imperfect. Discover how a pivotal moment while carrying a cross during the Jubilee Walk and her subsequent uncontrollable weeping led to a profound divine encounter. Courtney recounts receiving a clear message from St. Peter—a saint to whom she has a deep devotion. Her story is a powerful testament to God's pursuit of her heart and how He uses vulnerability, true emotion, and even our shortcomings to reveal His mission. This episode is an essential listen for anyone seeking to understand how God meets us in our weakness and imperfection, offering profound love and clarity even in the most overwhelming moments.
