Guest Bio: Brittany Hurd is a former theatrical professional who, in late 2020, went a few rounds with a brain tumor and lost her eyesight. A trained singer, she has redirected her gifts toward chanting the Psalms in a musical theater style on the YouTube channel Canticlear. But her primary job is making her new husband a better Thomist, as they both re-learn what it means to build a virtuous and flourishing home in light of and in response to her blindness.
Show Summary: When we’re growing up, we probably have an idea of what we want our lives to look like. We may plan along the way and eventually find ourselves exactly where we wanted to be. However, sometimes our plans look nothing like what God has for us. Unexpectedly, we get a scary medical diagnosis, or something significant happens that alters the course of our lives. Brittany Hurd was diagnosed with a brain tumor that ended up taking her eyesight. This has completely changed her life, and now she’s navigating the change as a newlywed. Join hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni, as they learn how Brittany takes it day by day with God in the midst of unexpected change during this God Hears Her conversation.
