She shares her personal story of losing her son Jax and how God has used that tragedy to spread the gospel.

Stephanie offers brief, practical steps—speak Scripture aloud, seek a community of believers, and pray honestly—and invites listeners to find hope in Jesus and join a supportive online group.
