280: Becky Antkowiak and Faithfulness Through Grief

Becky Antkowiak is a writer, leader of the 540 Community for writers, and my new best friend. Today, Becky shares with us her story of following a calling that seemed to not work out only to discover how God uses everything. Becky also opens up about a season of grief and lets us in on how she found the Lord when he seemed absent. Becky leads a group of writers called the 540 Community and explains why everyone has a story to tell. Becky’s story reminds us that no matter where we find ourselves, God is working.

Listen to Becky’s story now!

Stories Becky shared:

Homeschooling and working at Redemption Press
Growing up in Virginia
Going to Bible college
The pastor that she looked up to
Convincing her grandfather that she loved Jesus at 4 years old
The spiritual biographies that influenced her
Learning that teaching was not for her
Feeling angry that the Lord didn’t take her overseas
Why “living for God” does not mean “ministry” work
How her husband helped her through the anger
Receiving a lupus diagnosis
Sensing God’s distance while grieving her sister
Processing her grief and where God is in the middle of grief
Why she started the 540 Community

Great quotes from Becky:

You don’t need a crazy education to homeschool but you do need to have commitment.

As long as you are putting your best effort in, you’re working hard, and you’re happy, find a way to do that for Jesus.

I lived in a bubble until the last year.
