From surviving a catastrophic semi-truck accident and a devastating house fire to facing a parent's worst nightmare, Tonia Fillingame has walked through the deepest valleys. In 2019, her world was turned upside down when her son was diagnosed with a rare, fatal, and "untreatable" brain disease and given only two years to live.

After initially falling into "mama overdrive" and trying to control the situation in her own strength, she surrendered to God, remembered His healing covenant, and called on the Name above all names.

Today, Tonia Fillingame is a Biblical Herbalist and the founder of Fillingame Homestead. Through studying God’s Creation, old-time remedies, and indigenous practices, she has stepped into a powerful ministry of spiritual warfare and physical restoration. Not only has she witnessed her son’s miraculous nerve regeneration and restored eyesight, but she now helps others experience God’s design for healing.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Surrendering the need for control to hear God’s voice.
• Moving from fear to boldness through the power of Covenant.
• How God uses His Creation (herbs and nature) for the service of man.
• The jaw-dropping testimonies of healing they are witnessing daily.

Today, I honor the life and legacy of my father on his birthday. Losing him 15 years ago (I accidently said 14 in the episode) was one of the deepest pains I've known, but God’s strength carried me through. I admired so much about him — especially the way he loved my mother, with a selfless, steady, and sacrificial love — the way Christ loves the Church.

In this episode, I reflect on his life, the lessons he left behind, and how the Lord became my anchor in grief. His example continues to shape my heart, and his love lives on in our family.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

Join me as I remember my dad, celebrate his legacy, and testify to the strength God gives in the midst of sorrow.

Today would have been my mom’s birthday. As I walk through the ache of missing her, I'm reminded that even in our deepest sorrow, God's strength carries us. In this heartfelt episode of In His Strength, I share what it feels like to grieve with hope, remembering the woman who always believed in me. I can still hear her words: “If anyone can do it, you can do it!”—a reminder that God often speaks through the ones who love us most.

Even though she’s no longer here, her faith and encouragement continue to echo in my heart. Through tears, memories, and the strength only God can give, I’ve learned how to keep going.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

Whether you’re walking through loss or standing beside someone who is, I pray this episode brings comfort and reminds you that God is near to the brokenhearted.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the gift of my mom—for her love, her strength, and the way she always believed in me. On what would have been her birthday, my heart aches with missing her, but I cling to the truth that You are close to the brokenhearted and that Your strength is made perfect in weakness.

Lord, for every listener walking through grief, I pray Your comfort surrounds them. Let them feel Your nearness in the silence, Your peace in the tears, and Your hope in the moments that feel too heavy to carry.

Help us to remember that our loved ones are never truly gone when they’ve known You—they are safe in Your presence, and we will see them again. Until then, help us live with courage, walk in faith, and lean on Your everlasting arms.

We trust You. We need You. We love You.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Thank you for listening. My prayer is that you found encouragement and hope today, In His Strength!
