In this solo episode of Pebbles of Light, Anne Maxson shares her personal journey of giving herself permission to fail—in business, in her PhD pursuit, and in life. She reflects on spiritual impressions, unexpected detours, and the way God uses “failures” as course corrections toward something better.
Through honest storytelling, Anne shows how failure can become a powerful teacher, preparing us for future opportunities and strengthening our reliance on divine help. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their own imperfect paths and move forward with faith—no matter how many times they feel they’ve fallen short.
