Anne Coleman Hufham – From Brokenness and Anxiety to Resting in God’s Love
Sometimes the people who look the most joyful and grounded have also walked through deep struggles, hidden pain, anxiety, and seasons of searching for meaning. Behind every testimony is a story of God meeting someone personally and changing their life forever.
In this heartfelt conversation, John Martin sits down with Anne Coleman Hufham to share her powerful journey of discovering Jesus, finding her identity in Him, and learning what it truly means to rest in the love of God.
Anne grew up in a loving Christian home in Birmingham, Alabama, surrounded by supportive parents and family. But even with that strong foundation, she still wrestled with insecurity, worldly pressures, and searching for affirmation in all the wrong places. Like so many young people, she found herself chasing acceptance, relationships, and temporary fulfillment—hoping those things would fill the ache in her heart.
By her freshman year of college, Anne had reached a breaking point. Exhausted, empty, and desperate for something real, she cried out to God from her dorm room and asked Him to take over her life.
That moment changed everything.
As Anne began seeking Jesus through His Word and spending time in His presence, her heart slowly transformed. She shares how God met her personally through worship, scripture, and a life-changing discipleship retreat where she encountered the love of the Father in a way she never had before.
One of the most powerful moments in her testimony came while walking barefoot through a field after a retreat weekend. There, God spoke deeply to her heart:
“Today I’m making all things new.”
In that moment, shame, guilt, and the weight of her past were lifted, and Anne fully surrendered her life to Christ.
But her story doesn’t stop there.
Anne also opens up honestly about a later season in life where she battled intense anxiety for nearly two years—even while deeply pursuing God. She shares how confusing and painful that season felt, wondering why healing wasn’t coming immediately despite prayer, fasting, and faith.
Yet even in the middle of anxiety, God never abandoned her.
Instead, He used that difficult season to strengthen her faith, deepen her dependence on Him, and shape her into the woman He was calling her to become. Through time and surrender, God eventually brought healing and freedom.
Anne’s story is a reminder that following Jesus does not mean life becomes perfect or pain disappears. It means we no longer walk through hardship alone.
This conversation is filled with hope and encouragement for anyone feeling lost, anxious, ashamed, or far from God:
You are not too broken.
You are not too far gone.
And your story is not over.
God is not afraid of your mess.
He sees your pain, your struggles, and your fears—and He still wants relationship with you.
Anne encourages listeners to:
Spend time daily in God’s Word.
Find a Christ-centered church community.
Surround yourself with accountability and godly friendships.
And learn to rest in the truth that you are fully loved by the Father.
No matter where you’ve been or what you’re carrying today, Jesus is still making all things new.
What’s one burden or fear you need to fully surrender to God today?
