Summary

My friend Jenna shares her story of learning how to live without panic after witnessing a shooting, and choosing to believe that God is bigger than the trials that come in this world in which we find ourselves. Don’t miss this interview with one of my MomStrong International leaders as she shares how she’ is learning to live victoriously, even with PTSD.
Jenna has been married to her husband, Ben, since 2013. Their son, Ethan, is 2 and a half years old and loves all sports – basketball, soccer, football, and especially golf. Jenna was on the “Becoming MomStrong” Launch Team and most recently led a Becoming MomStrong Book Study in the same Panera Bread she’d once run from in fear. Jenna longs to see women experience the true freedom that is found only in Jesus Christ. There is no story that He cannot redeem and restore. Jenna can often be found lost in a good book and she believes chocolate was created especially with women in mind. She has an affinity for all things pink, navy blue, and nautical.  Read more of Jenna’s story here!
