Sanity in the Storm: Faith, Anxiety, and Finding God at 9 Years Old with Andelina Storm
In this powerful and deeply moving episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with her youngest guest yet — author, speaker, and mental health advocate Andelina “Storm” Grossi.
At just 20 years old, Storm carries a level of wisdom that can only come from walking through real pain… and choosing faith anyway.
Her journey with God began at just nine years old, in the middle of overwhelming fear, anxiety, and OCD triggered by the loss of her grandfather. What started as prayers rooted in fear eventually transformed into a relationship rooted in trust, peace, and unwavering faith.
But her story doesn’t stop there.
Storm opens up about:
Living with OCD, anxiety, depression, and ADHD
Experiencing a spiritual “dry season” where she could no longer feel God
The devastating loss of a friend to suicide
Hitting emotional rock bottom in college
And making the daily decision to choose God over fear
Through it all, she discovered something life-changing:
👉 Faith isn’t about always feeling God — it’s about choosing Him even when you can’t.
Now, through her book “Sanity in the Storm”, her Podcast, and her advocacy work, Storm is helping others navigate mental health struggles while staying rooted in faith.
This episode is a reminder that no matter how heavy life feels…
You are not alone.
God is not absent.
And your story is not over.
