Jenny’s guest, Author & Speaker Jeanne Rodriguez knows the devastating pain and loss when a tragic accident ripped away the life of someone she loved dearly.  Her life changed in an instant, when her beloved daughter-in-law was killed and her son sustained life-threatening trauma injuries while on their honeymoon in the Bahamas. Coping with so much grief and uncertainty, she shares how God has carried her through one of the deepest valleys of life.  Her new book “When Hope Met Hopelessness” relates her story of loss, anger, healing and the redeeming love of The Lord. She shares her powerful story with us in this episode.  Jeanne has served for over twenty-five-years in women’s ministry, including speaking at women’s events and serving as the former women’s director at Bayside Church in Lincoln, California. The Crystal Rodríguez Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established to financially assist deserving High School Seniors with their Freshman Year college expenses who are in financial need.

Anne Wilson, a 20-year-old popular singer/songwriter whose powerful song, “My Jesus,” reached number 1 on the Billboard charts joins us to share her journey of enduring and worshipping through grief after the loss of her 23-year-old brother at the age of 15. Losing friends and family members we love and care deeply about is an inescapable part of this life and can be earth-shattering.

Anne shares how worship helped her to endure the loss of her brother and led to an unexpected music career. She offers encouragement and empathy for anyone walking through grief and missing their loved ones. Anne also reflects on the lies many young women believe and inspires girls and women to find their worth and identity in God alone. Her mountain-moving faith will inspire you to celebrate the joy found in a life with Jesus. May our conversation with Anne bring you hope and remind you that God is working all things together for your good.
