Summary

What do you do when the brokenness of this world hits you and your entire life goes into a tailspin? As today's storyteller reminds us, you lean into God like never before, and you rest in knowing He is enough.

Shannon Stafford, from our West Cobb community (just outside of Atlanta, Georgia), shares her story of healing from childhood trauma only to be blindsided by her husband's request for a divorce. Little did she know that through her journey of recovering from the past, God was preparing her for victory in the future trials ahead. This is a story of God's faithful love, His desire for you to let go of shame, and His power to redeem and heal what was lost and broken.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

- Sometimes the best way to find healing and conquer your shame is to be open and talk about it.

- The Lord wants you to experience His peace in the worst of tragedies.

- Live fully in the present, focusing on God in the moment
