The Messy Table with Jenn Jewell

EP. 142 | Tori Hope Petersen [Fostering Hope]


Listen Later

Tori Hope Petersen bounced around twelve foster homes until she emancipated or “aged out” of the system at 18 years old. But even in the middle of a rollercoaster childhood, God met her in her mess.

Despite the odds being stacked against her, Tori became a 4x State Champion and All American in track and field, found a forever family when she wasn’t expecting it, and eventually landed the title of Mrs. Universe in 2021. Currently, Tori is a wife, biological + foster mama, bestselling author (see: Fostered) and speaker, and the founder of a nonprofit called the Beloved Initiative—who’s using her story and voice to advocate for others from hard places.

“In our suffering, God makes a promise to us: He will not waste it.”  Tori Hope Petersen
