This podcast interview featured Sandra Rohrer discussing her book "A Daughter's Search for a Killer, Her Identity in the Heart of God," which explores her journey through trauma, including her mother's murder and discovering she wasn't biologically related to her father as she had believed. Sandra shared how she experienced shame and feelings of not belonging after learning the truth at age 11, which affected her for decades until she underwent healing in her 30s through a combination of a healing week and daily prayer and meditation. She described finding her biological father through a 19-year-old DNA detective after 40 years of searching, and how this led to a satisfying relationship with her previously unknown family. Sandra discussed her work helping others heal through her website TheFragrantrevival.com, where she offers free resources like the "Tear Collector" workshop and provides holistic esthetician services, while also speaking at conferences and Bible study groups about restoration and healing from emotional pain.

Pamela welcomed Sandra Rohrer to Real Heart Talk, introducing her as someone with a compelling story of tragedy, joy, and overcoming challenges. Sandra shared details about her book "A Daughter's Search for a Killer, Her Identity in the Heart of God," which explores two mysteries in her life: her mother's unsolved murder case and the search for her biological father. She explained how she felt shame about her biological father's identity after being told he wasn't her biological father when she was 11, and discussed how the enemy uses lies during times of trauma.

Sandra shared her experience of discovering at age 11 that her biological father was not her legal father, which led to feelings of being a burden and not belonging. She described how this revelation was communicated through a letter rather than a face-to-face conversation, and how it made her self-conscious about her appearance due to being told her skin was darker. Sandra also recounted being 19 when her mother passed away in what was initially believed to be a car fire but was later determined to be homicide, and how she became responsible for caring for her younger twin siblings after this tragic event.

Sandra shared her experience of discovering at age 30 that the man she believed to be her biological father was not, which led her to question her identity and ethnicity. A friend's observation about Sandra needing deliverance prompted her to attend a healing week where she worked through various lies she had believed, including false assumptions about her ethnicity. Sandra's journey of healing began with surrendering to the realization that she needed freedom from these burdens that were affecting her family and marriage.

Sandra shared her personal healing journey, describing how she broke free from emotional chains through awareness and inviting Jesus into her past traumas. She explained how she processed painful memories by asking Jesus to reveal lies and false identities, then replacing them with truth through daily renewal of her mind over a six-week period. Sandra also discussed her experience on the television show "Justice" where they solved her mother's murder case, though the perpetrator received a reduced sentence through a plea deal, requiring her to forgive again.

Pamela and Sandra discussed Sandra's book and healing journey. Sandra shared how she helps women restore their identity in Christ through her "Heart Revival" series, which includes resources like "The Tear Collector" based on Psalm 56:8. Sandra also revealed that she had recently reunited with her biological father after a 40-year search, which she attributed to divine intervention. The conversation covered Sandra'

Join me this week on Shaped by Faith Radio as I sit down with a very special guest, Rose Ayers, whose life is a beautiful example of faith in action.

Rose has been married for 54 years, is a devoted mother and grandmother, and a retired teacher. But her story does not stop there. After retirement, God stirred something new in her heart, leading her to serve through Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief, where she has now completed 25 deployments across multiple states.

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Rose shares:

• How faith guided her into a new purpose after retirement

• What it is like to serve people in the middle of devastation

• Stories of hope, healing, and seeing God move in the hardest moments

• Encouragement for anyone who feels “too old” or unsure of their calling

This interview is a reminder that God can use you at any stage of life to bring hope and light to others.

How can you fight your daily fatigue (& possible burnout) with faith fueled truth? 

Is it even possible??

You woke up this morning already tired. You have a full day as usual.

You're juggling work deadlines, family, commitments...(+ everything in between.)

You keep telling yourself  you'll rest "later," in the afternoon if time allows but later rarely comes.

You WANT to stop and do "nothing" just for a min. but your busy schedule (+ your mindset) won't let you.

You are tired and yet very wired. Your brain won't shut off.

Burnout seems inevitable. You can't take much more. 

More than anything, you just want to feel like yourself again.

Scrolling through your phone at the end of the day (and/or on lunch) might feel like a break, but let's be honest...it's not the kind of rest your soul (or body) needs. 

Your brain still feels tired after a scroll session doesn't it? 

 Let's flip the scrip on resting the worlds way vs God's way. (Spoiler alert...HIS way is SO much better!)

Here's the truth: chronic (aka daily) fatigue and constant stress can quietly lead to burnout. 

You might not notice it until it's too late, but the warning signs are there.

Your body is always talking to you.

Going through an intense period of stress can severely deplete your cortisol levels and leave you simply EXHAUSTED. 

SO exhausted you feel drained each morning before you even DO anything. 

I can totally relate to this my friend.

 And because I can totally relate…. I wanted to share 4 specific verses to bring you encouragement as a midlife woman facing fatigue and potentially burnout.

This is gonna make you WANT to take a 'mini sabbath' and change your mindset on how you feel about rest, stress and burnout. 

Can you REALLY fight and recover from your daily FATIGUE?

Absolutely my friend!

I pray this blesses you & moves you to action today!
