Rhonda and her husband Philip authored a book called Finding Peace in Life's Storms where they share their journey of finding an enduring peace in the middle of multiple and significant tragedies.

This peace is indeed a peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7), and one that the world craves.

Rhonda shares how Isaiah 43:1-2 brought significant comfort in a time of desperation.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."

A spiritually transformative experience became the catalyst for a new calling.
