Faith After Trauma w/ Teresa Blaes | Ep 105
✝️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In Episode 105 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Teresa Blaes (podcast host, ministry leader, and founder of Kosh Media Productions) for a raw conversation about faith after trauma. Teresa shares her story of growing up in a broken home, facing severe medical challenges, and experiencing devastating loss that left her deeply angry at God. She describes how encounters with the supernatural pushed her to investigate what was real and, eventually, how the gospel began to break through through a praying teacher, Christian music, and a radio message that led her to “do business with God.” They talk about what it means to bring your questions to God, why Isaiah 1:18 (“come, let us reason together”) became an anchor, and why healing often starts when we stop hiding our past and bring it into the light.
