In this moving episode of Faith Talks, Janna Faith shares life updates and introduces a special session from her sister, Stephanie Swanson, recorded live at a teen rally in Martinsville. Stephanie challenges listeners to reconsider how they view God’s gifts—especially when those gifts come through trials, delays, or unanswered questions. With raw honesty, Scripture, and a powerful testimony of her son Parker’s medical journey, she invites young ladies to trust God’s heart, even when His gifts don’t come wrapped the way they expect.
