S4 E17 Redemptive Suffering: Life After Jessica
Shownotes
The role of a mother and wife are intrinsic to the family. So when God calls them home, the dynamic of home life changes. Jessica Hannah never questioned God’s plan for her, rather embraced it. In 2020,she was diagnosed with Breast cancer while pregnant with her fourth child. She understood her time here was precious and wanted to help others so she created a social media page called @blessed-by_cancer Jessica sharing her experience all the while catechizing others as she carried her cross. In 2024, Jessica returned home to our Lord and her husband Lamar Hannah, continuing to share Jessica’s messages of love, humility and redemptive suffering.
