Sohma Rae Hathaway scored a 7 on the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) test — a number most clinicians associate with chronic trauma. But trauma isn’t where her story ends. It’s where her creativity, compassion, and calling began.

In this episode, Sohma shares how God carried her through deep emotional wounds, motherhood (to 4 biological and 7 stepchildren), and the disorienting highs and lows of rebuilding life after loss. Through symbolic oil paintings, writing, and relentless faith, she’s become a storyteller for the hurting — proof that healing is possible when we anchor our identity in Christ. Her work reminds us that God’s hand is never too short to rescue — and His love is never too quiet to speak through art.

If you’re carrying a story or testimony and sense a quiet stirring to do something more with it, but you’re unsure what that next step should be, I’ve created a resource to help you discern that.

Her story is full of Scripture, symbolism, and seafaring wisdom — and reminds us that even when we can’t make sense of the storm, God still holds the ship.
