Hosted by Brady and Dominique Meakin, this podcast shares the raw, unfiltered journey of losing their four-year-old son, Koleson, while learning how to navigate grief, strengthen their marriage, raise their family, and trust God through it all.

Each episode is a reminder that even in life’s darkest storms, there is still light to be found. We’ll talk about grief, faith, parenting, marriage, mental health, healing, and the moments that have changed us forever. We’ll also share the story behind Cared By Koleson, our nonprofit dedicated to supporting families facing medical challenges and unimaginable loss.

Whether you’re grieving, walking through a difficult season, supporting someone you love, or simply looking for encouragement, our prayer is that these conversations help you feel seen, understood, and reminded that you don’t have to walk through the rain alone.

Because even when the skies are dark, God is still faithful and there’s always Light in the Rain.

As Koleson’s body became weaker and everyday life became harder for him, we watched his world slowly change. Things that once came easily became difficult. His body was struggling, and as his parents, we were watching it happen while desperately wishing we could take it all away.

2 Corinthians 4:8–9 says:

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”

Those words became incredibly real for us.

Koleson was hard pressed. His body was failing him. Our family was exhausted, scared, and hurting. There were moments when we didn't understand what God was doing or why he was allowing so much suffering.

But even in the hardest moments, we were not abandoned.

This episode is about what it looks like to hold onto God when your circumstances keep getting harder. It's about watching someone you love struggle and learning that faith doesn't mean you won't hurt, it means you don't have to walk through the hurt alone.

Koleson's story continues to teach us that being struck down isn't the same as being destroyed. And sometimes, God's presence isn't found in changing the circumstance, but in carrying us through it.

If you're going through a season where you feel hard pressed, overwhelmed, or completely exhausted, we hope this episode reminds you that you are not alone.
