Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Stuff God Never Said. I'm Audrey Cauthen, and today I'm thrilled to have my friend Donna VanLiere with us. Donna is an amazing mom, author, speaker, and a true prayer warrior. In this episode, we dive into the power of prayer and what it means to pray from a position of victory in Christ.
Donna shares her personal journey through infertility and how it deepened her prayer life. She talks about the challenges and blessings of adopting her three wonderful children from China and Guatemala. We also discuss her experiences as an author, including her popular Christmas novels that have been adapted into TV movies.
But it doesn't stop there. Donna opens up about her battle with a neurological disorder that left her in pain and how prayer and fasting played a crucial role in her healing process. Her story is a powerful reminder of the importance of praying boldly and persistently, even when things seem impossible.
Throughout our conversation, we emphasize that prayer doesn't have to be complicated or perfect. It's about talking to God, our Father, and trusting Him with our needs and the needs of others. Donna encourages us all to step out in faith and pray for those around us, whether we're in a grocery store or at the gym.
Join us as we explore how prayer can transform lives and ignite a passion for connecting with God. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your thoughts and prayer requests. We'd love to hear from you!
