From Lost to Found: Nicole Zasowski
When we confront the thing we can't change, there's an invitation for it to change us. Nicole Zasowski is a marriage and family therapist, writer, and speaker. She shares her journey where she discovered that sometimes God's rescue looks like prying our fingers off of what we think we want so that we can receive what we truly need. And often, on the far side of pain we don't prefer, we find transformation we would not trade. She brings an incredible amount of wisdom, and Gabe and Rebekah believe the powerful message she carries will resonate with many listeners.
