Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m talking with Carol Hulin, a follower of Jesus and a native of Canada, who loves to encourage others. Although Carol is not a blogger, she writes for Team 365, and also devotionals — called “Thursday’s with Carol” — for her HelloMornings group.
Carol found Jesus, or better yet He found her, 17 years ago, after living a life of running as far from God as possible. She knows that she is only alive today because of God’s tender compassion and great mercy.
After working 25 years in the hotel business, she is embarking on a new adventure: She’s going back to college! Her goal is a degree in biblical studies, but at this point, she’s simply focusing on her first year back in the classroom. She is single and has no children, yet her heart’s desire is to spiritually nurture women’s souls and draw them closer to Christ.
In this episode, together we discuss Carol’s:
- Abuse as a child
- Withdrawal and isolation
- Alcohol use
- Abusive serial relationships
- Promiscuity
Carol shares:
- Her anger and doubt in God
- The way she found Jesus
- The struggle to let go of the shame and guilt
- And learning how to trust again

SCRIPTURE:
In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!
Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Psalm 71:1-3 (ESV)
