Episode 20: Rachel Snyder (Part One)

On today's episode my wife Natalie and I will be interviewing someone that folks have requested we have on the podcast for a long time coming- Rachel Snyder. Rachel will share how her childhood was defined by the abuse and victimization perpetrated upon her by the very people meant to protect her, how she lost her voice and autonomy, and how she was thrust into her adult life very early on with no voice, no sense of self worth, and only the lens of her trauma brokenness in which to see the world. 

Be warned- Rachel shares some very difficult events, circumstances and themes in this episode including physical and sexual abuse, and the death of a child. But on the flip side of those truly terrible things, I hope that something bigger, something even more profound stands out- that our higher power can redeem us, and is not handicapped by our brokenness, shame, pain or doubts. Yes, this is a story of survival and trauma- but more so this is a story of a God that is truly bigger than all the terrible things in this life and how woefully short we fall in understanding that. 

This is part one of Rachel’s story.
