Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! as Scott welcomes back friend and author Stephanie Shott.

Conceived as the result of a rape, Stephanie Shott wasn’t just an unexpected pregnancy … she was a woman’s worst nightmare. After being adopted by two loving parents, she found herself the victim of a decade of sexual abuse. As a young adult, she spent years wandering the wilderness of foolish choices, but since her life-changing encounter with Christ in 1987, Stephanie now takes every opportunity she has to tell of God’s rich and redeeming grace. She loves what Corrie Ten Boom once said: “There is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still.”

As a guest on various television and radio shows, Stephanie is called upon to speak hope and healing to those who have suffered from sexual abuse; to remind women they are never too battered, too broken, too dirty, too unlovable, or too unforgivable for God; to call women to courageously escape the Christian bubble. She is founder of The M.O.M. Initiative – a mission centered mentoring ministry devoted to taking Titus 2 to the streets and changing the world one mom at a time.
