Hope Piercing the Darkness

Can God bring hope and victory to the survivor of a school shooting? Absolutely. Today is a rebroadcast of Episode 8, our interview with Crystal Woodman Miller. Crystal was in 11th grade when her Colorado High School would experience a devastating school massacre. When the April 20th, 1999 shooting happened at Columbine High School, Crystal was crouched under a library table and praying fervently to a God she scarcely knew. In today’s episode, Lee Nienhuis and Crystal discuss faith, healing and mothering in an age of violence and widespread fear. The conversation is gripping, important, and hope filling for moms of all stages.
