Flicker & Burn: SoulCore (Part 1)

How do you keep your faith when life falls apart?

Before SoulCore became a movement helping thousands encounter Christ through prayer and movement, its founders walked through seasons of profound suffering.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Rob Kaczmark sits down with lifelong friends Colleen Triano and Deanna Bartalini, the founders of SoulCore, to hear the deeply personal stories that shaped their faith.

Deanna shares her battle with an eating disorder, how the search for control nearly consumed her, and the conversation with her father that became the turning point toward healing.

Colleen reflects on unimaginable family tragedy, the loss of loved ones, addiction within her family, and how witnessing her mother's unwavering faith taught her to trust God even in the darkest moments.

This episode is a powerful reminder that God doesn't waste our wounds. Even our deepest suffering can become the place where He begins something new.
In this episode:

• Deanna's journey through an eating disorder and recovery
• Why control is often a symptom, not the root problem
• How parents can lovingly walk with children through suffering
• Colleen's family's story of loss, addiction, and hope
• Why God can bring redemption from even our deepest wounds

Next week, in Part 2, Colleen and Deanna share how these experiences eventually led to the founding of SoulCore and how prayer and movement became a path to healing for thousands.
