Faith Conversations: Tammy Watson’s Journey of Trust and Transformation

In a heartfelt episode of Faith Conversations, host Sarah Rose sits down with her dear friend Tammy Watson to explore a compelling story of faith, resilience, and divine intervention. Tammy’s journey from childhood routines to profound personal relationship with God offers inspiration for anyone navigating life’s storms.

A Childhood Rooted in Faith Tammy recalls being raised in a Christian family in Mitchell, South Dakota. Her parents took her to church every Sunday, often twice, and she attended catechism regularly. Yet, despite the consistent church attendance, she admits her faith was more about routine than a personal connection. It wasn’t until later in life—when she moved to Kansas—that she began to truly understand the importance of developing a personal relationship with Christ.

A Divine Prompt to Move Tammy shares a pivotal moment: one night, feeling contemplative, she heard in her mind, “You’re going to move.” This quiet but firm whisper she recognizes as God’s voice. Despite no immediate plans, she felt compelled to act. Her house in South Dakota sold unexpectedly—without a realtor, to a surprise buyer—and shortly after, her family moved to Kansas. This move, however, came with its own challenges, including her husband’s battle with cancer and her own struggles with her youngest daughter’s rebellious stage.

Discovering Faith in the Midst of Trials While in Kansas, Tammy’s faith deepened through a friendship with Wendy, who introduced her to a unique blend of Bible study and rodeo. This experience opened Tammy’s eyes to the concept that faith isn’t just about religion but about cultivating a personal relationship with God. She realized God wanted to be her friend—always present, guiding, and loving. Her life’s hardships—an eating disorder, an attempted overdose, a tumultuous relationship, and a terrifying incident involving her ex-husband—became platforms for divine encounters. Tammy recounts a moment when her young horse fell and drug her into an injury, leaving her unable to move. Yelling, “Help me, Jesus,” she felt an immediate sense of relief and strength, recognizing God’s active presence.

Moments of Divine Intervention Tammy’s story is peppered with miraculous moments: being found unscathed after dangerous falls, her husband’s timely arrival during health crises, and her own realization that her true need isn’t alcohol, work, or even success in barrel racing but a relationship with God. She emphasizes that turning to Scripture, prayer, and singing Bible songs helps her find peace amid chaos. One of the most profound experiences she shares is a near-death episode when her salt levels dangerously dropped. She was convulsing, unconscious, and had no memory of the event—only a vivid dream about understanding who God truly is. Her husband’s quick action and medical intervention saved her, but she believes that God used this moment to remind her of her purpose and His presence.

A Life Transformed by FaithTammy’s journey illustrates that faith isn’t a one-time decision but a continual process—trusting God through every trial, leaning on Him for strength, and seeking His guidance in daily life. Her testimony encourages others to start or deepen their relationship with Christ, emphasizing the importance of Scripture, prayer, and surrender.

Words of Wisdom and Encouragement To anyone struggling with pain, addiction, or confusion, Tammy offers simple yet powerful advice: immerse yourself in God's Word. Memorize scripture, sing praises, and pray continually. She shares her own practice of memorizing over fifty verses, quoting them in moments of weakness, and trusting that God’s peace will sustain.

Closing in Prayer As the conversation ends, Tammy graciously offers to lead a prayer, thanking God for His constant presence and asking for His guidance for all who listen. Her words echo the message that we are never alone—God is our Savior, our Friend, and our Source of strength.
