In this powerful episode, we sit down with author Shawna Foster to explore her heart-wrenching journey of overcoming trauma and finding strength through Jesus. Shawna opens up about the unimaginable pain of losing two children who are still alive, the painful struggles of parental alienation, and the emotional toll these experiences took on her life. . Shawna walks us through how unanswered prayers, the constant uncertainty of what comes next, and these trials led her to a place of complete dependence on God.
Shawna reflects on the raw moments of her life—where pieces of her were ripped away, leaving her unrecognizable, but she learned even in the darkest, loneliest times, God can use our brokenness to creat something beautiful. She also discusses the powerful truth behind Bob Marley's quote, “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have,” and how it resonated deeply as she navigated the toughest seasons of her life.
In this inspiring conversation, Shawna reveals how she found hope, healing, and strength through Jesus, and how surrendering everything to Him brought renewal and restoration. Her story is a reminder that no matter how broken we may feel, God can transform our deepest pain to create a new beginning.
