Restored: Finding Purpose and Joy After Deep Loss – A Conversation with Author, Best Selling Author, Cindy Brinker Simmons

Posted in

What if the very thing that broke your heart is the soil God uses to grow your deepest healing?

In this episode of At This Table, host Shelly Brown welcomes author, speaker, and ministry leader Cindy Brinker Simmons, whose book Restored: Reconnecting Life’s Broken Pieces offers both heartfelt encouragement and practical tools for anyone navigating pain, loss, or heartache.

Cindy’s story is one of profound suffering—and remarkable joy and faith. After losing her mom, tennis legend Maureen “Little Mo” Connolly, to cancer at age twelve, and years later walking through the loss of her beloved husband, Cindy could have stayed stuck in grief. But instead, she chose to trust God, anchor herself in His Word, and move forward with purpose.

Together, Shelly and Cindy talk about:

  • The seed God planted on the worst day of her life
  • Why forgiveness is essential to healing
  • How journaling, gratitude, and community change everything
  • The real reason some thrive through trauma—and others don’t
  • Turning grief into action and finding joy on purpose
  • Her publishing journey with Redemption Press
  • And more …

This isn’t a conversation filled with platitudes. It’s filled with hope, truth, and wisdom for the brokenhearted. Whether you’re in the midst of grief, walking with someone who is, or simply wondering how to move forward when life hasn’t gone as planned—this episode will remind you that God is still writing your story.
