Ep 138: How a Christian Rock Song Saved My Life: Grace Graber’s Story of PTSD, Church Hurt & Breakthrough

“Finding God in the PTSD”

In this emotionally raw and deeply hopeful episode of The Walk, award-winning Christian pop punk artist Grace Graber shares her journey from suicidal silence to spiritual breakthrough. Raised as a pastor’s kid and bullied for her faith, Grace developed undiagnosed PTSD that nearly took her life as a teenager. But one Christian rock song—heard in a moment of crisis—became a divine lifeline.

Now the 2025 We Love Christian Music Awards’ Pop Album of the Year winner, Grace opens up about the healing journey behind her debut project The Breakthrough, collaborating with her childhood heroes, and discovering her true artistic voice. She tackles church hurt, the stigma around mental health, and what it means to be both vulnerable and victorious in Christ.

This is not just a story of survival—it’s a testimony of how God shines through the shattered pieces. Grace’s bold message will inspire worship leaders, misfits, and anyone who’s ever wondered if their story could be used for glory.
