How Do You Rebuild When Your Old Life Is Gone?
What do you do when the life you knew is suddenly gone?Pastor, worship leader, author, and recording artist Beverly Bilbo knows what it means to rebuild after devastating loss. When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Beverly and her husband Garland were displaced, their congregation was scattered, their church sat under 12½ feet of water, and the future of the ministry they had built was suddenly uncertain. But Katrina wasn’t Beverly’s first storm. Years earlier, her family had endured another deeply painful public crisis that shook her world and eventually contributed to a season of severe panic attacks and fear. Through it all, Beverly discovered the difference between knowing what you believe and learning how to stand on it when life falls apart.She shares how Scripture, worship, prayer, and intentionally redirecting her thoughts became anchors when circumstances seemed overwhelming. Today, Beverly and Garland have rebuilt, their family is thriving, and the next generation is carrying their faith forward. Her story is a powerful reminder that resilience doesn’t always mean getting your old life back. Sometimes it means discovering how to build a new one.If you’ve experienced loss, grief, anxiety, disappointment, financial upheaval, betrayal, trauma—or simply a future that looks nothing like the one you planned—this conversation is for you.
