Summary
In this powerful conversation, Hosanna Wong shares her journey of growing up on the streets of San Francisco with a father who battled addiction, only to see God transform his life and spark an outdoor church that reached the hurting. Her story goes on to share how she went through some hard years that were full of disappointment and lies from the enemy. She continued to press into the word and God reminded her who she is in Christ, through that season her spoken word ministry was born. Here is some of what we talked about:
- How God uses ordinary moments and people, like a mother opening her door to a vacuum salesman and sharing faith, to change generations
- The struggle of feeling like you don’t measure up to “good Christian molds” and learning freedom in Christ
- Why God delights in your unique personality, schedule, and situation, He made you that way on purpose
- Hosanna reminds us that we have freedom in how we connect with our creator and God wants to meet us where we are

| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast. I'm your host, Heather McFadion, |
| 0:12.0 | and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you and connect you with people and resources |
| 0:16.6 | so you know that you don't mom alone. And in this episode number 538, I'm so excited to finally |
| 0:24.3 | welcome to the show, Hosanna Wong. Us knowing who we are and spending real time with God, |
| 0:31.9 | how can we be with him? I want to speak to anyone who like me had a picture in their mind of what it looked like to be a good godly Christian and the routines you had to have and the schedule you had to have and what your Sabbath had to look like and what your time in the Bible had to look like. |
| 0:47.2 | I have lived that way too. But why would God create us uniquely and wonderfully but say, oh, in order to have a relationship |
| 0:57.6 | with me, you actually can't be yourself at all? |
| 1:01.6 | Why would he create us with our own personalities and taste and quirks? |
| 1:06.3 | And say, but to have a relationship with me, you have to look like somebody else. |
| 1:10.6 | I think it's important |
| 1:11.8 | that we realize how we've been made and wired, our learning styles, what we enjoy, what we don't |
| 1:17.1 | enjoy. Hosanna is an international speaker, bestselling author, and spoken word artist, and she has a few |
| 1:25.2 | books out. She has one called You Are More Than You've |
| 1:27.5 | Been Told and a new children's book called What God Says About You. But I've been wanting to have |
| 1:33.6 | Hosanna on the show for a long time because I was captivated by her story. She had a viral |
| 1:39.8 | YouTube video. You'll get to hear that poem in this episode. But just learning about who her dad |
| 1:48.0 | was and how she grew up and how that impacted who she became was so powerful to me in this |
| 1:56.3 | reminder as parents that us pursuing God and our unique giftings is the best thing we can do for our kids |
| 2:05.7 | because it helps shape who they become and staying focused on God and not just crafting this |
| 2:12.9 | really comfortable, perfect formalistic life for our kids, but pursuing God and wherever he calls |
| 2:20.1 | us to be and whatever he calls us to do actually sets them up to just shine in ways that I |
| 2:25.2 | feel like Hosanna does. She's so talented. Her words are so powerful. And to me, this episode, |
