Episode 12: A conversation with Sarah Vega about having a hard heart, enduring abuse and chronic pain, and being a self defined "biting sheep".
A conversation with Sarah Vega about having a hard heart, being a biting sheep, and trusting in Jesus through chronic pain and abuse.
Sarah is an amazing artist who helped Sticks and Stones Publishing illustrate a second published book in 2021. Her work on the “The Little Clock” can be found on sticksandstonespublishing.com and can be purchased on Amazon.
What is even more amazing is her heart for Jesus, her kids (and all kids), and her family. In this interview you will hear Sarah mention several friends’ names each time saying how much she appreciates them. She is a self described introvert, has a hard heart, and is one of those biting sheep in the flock. Sarah has seen God give and take away, and she wants to see God as her treasure. She also is praying she can discern the Holy Spirit’s voice in her life.
Sarah has much to offer and say about persevering through trials and significant struggles. She endured marital abuse from a previous marriage, ptsd, and now lives with chronic pain, struggles, and other ailments.
Sarah is a dear friend who always lifts up others by pointing us back to Jesus. In her words…she “gospels people well.”

Episode 8: A conversation about obedience, writing, and chronic pain with Shanna Bauer.
Shanna and I cover lots of ground on how to keep going in obedience when God is speaking to you. She talks about her battle with Lyme disease, how she kept looking for beauty anywhere she could see, and how God has called her to minister to others with her writing. She's a hydro-geoscientist by trade who is using her voice to encourage others, and she is currently writing her first book with a dear friend named Brooke.
Shanna has such a great perspective on life and suffering which I know will truly bless everyone who reads her writing or listens to her talk.
Quotes:
"Obey in the little things. When you obey the little things tend to turn into big things."
"Know that God is with you."
"Look for beauty...listen for whispers."
Show Notes:
Shanna writes with this purpose in mind:
We write to encourage people to find beauty and walk in victory, even in the darkest of nights, cultivating resiliency in healthy community, not isolation, as we navigate through chronic pain.
