This week I am joined by Tori Hope Petersen. Tori is the bestselling author of Breaking the Patterns that Break You, and her memoir Fostered.

She is a sought-out national speaker and Bible teacher, encouraging women, moms, and youth coming from hard places.

Named by Outreach Magazine as one of 20 Rising Leaders for This Generation and the Next, Tori is a leading advocate in foster care, who has advocated to congress, and helped countless organizations serving vulnerable people raise funds by telling her powerful story from stages.

At home, she is a mom and wife who enjoys cooking with her children. With a value for hospitality, the family makes extra food to be able to open their doors and feed whoever might stop by.

In this episode, Tori shares her story as a child who grew up in the foster care system, her testimony of faith, and gives incredible wisdom on how to pursue God amidst all of life's challenges.
