Episode 99: Taylor Schumann

When our friend Taylor released her first book, she just knew we had to talk to her on the podcast. Taylor is bright and brave, and she trusts God with what is good and what is hard. We just know that her story of hope and healing will leave you encouraged.

Taylor Schumann is a wife, a mom, an author, and an activist. She’s the author of an incredible new book, When Thoughts and Prayers Aren’t Enough: A Shooting Survivor’s Journey Into the Realities of Gun Violence. In 2013, Taylor was injured in a shooting, and now, she’s using that pain and trauma for the good of others and the glory of God. We cannot recommend this book enough - it’s available now wherever books are sold.

In this episode, we’re talking about hearing stories that are different than your own and finding God in the growing. We pray this episode encourages you to listen to the stories you hear and to tell the stories that only you can tell. We pray that you would pray first, then take action — through advocacy, through asking questions, and through however God leads you to make a move. We pray you find hope in Taylor’s mission and that you would know God better because of her words. God is mighty in you, sister.
