When you are faced with an unexpected pregnancy, it is hard to imagine what your future will be, or if God will ever bless your life again. We have a returning guest, Suzanne Burns, sharing her story once again of how God has used the trials in her past to create a thriving ministry. She updates us on the new trauma informed trainings she has developed. She also has a new Christian Fantasy Book Series called Bright Haven Chronicles. Find out what happened when God sent her a "download" one morning. Suzanne brings great stories and valuable advice that you don't want to miss!
