Summary
Amanda Ferguson bares her soul in this conversation about her messy childhood. She discusses how she learned, at a very young age, to numb her emotions and to not discuss the things that made her uncomfortable.
She longed for a healthy relationship with her father as she watched her dad cook drugs in her kitchen and gamble away their money which perpetuated their battle of living in poverty.
She shares the heartbreaking story of being sexually molested in the most unfathomable of locations. But God! Amanda also shares about her current pregnancy with her 4th baby, the healthy dynamic of her family and how she has taught her little ones to express her emotions openly.
Your heart will break as you hear her story but you'll be filled with hope and encouragement as you see how God has helped her to heal in spite of her circumstances.
