At the tender age of 15, Avery Brooks lost her dad, older sister, and younger brother in one tragic moment—while simultaneously fighting for her own life.

How does someone navigate such immense grief? How does someone process such faith-boggling questions? How does someone begin to heal after living through something so horrific?

“As Christians, we need to declare the promises of God before we actually feel them.”  —Avery Brooks

Avery is a wife, teacher, survivor, adrenaline junky, and world traveler who’s uncovered relentless joy in the face of heartbreak. You don’t want to miss this episode at The Messy Table Podcast!
