My guests are ordinary people who have experienced the extraordinary.  People who didn't quit.

How You Can Overcome Any Obstacle Life Throws at You

Sep 20, 2022

Joan Benson adopted two infants and two twelve-year-olds to complete what she hoped would be a loving permanent family. The older two boys had many complex emotional problems which made Joan and her husband feel it was above 'their pay grade.' 

Joan is a wife, mother, grandmother, and author/speaker. She has written for 30 years in educational publishing and her work has been published in multiple magazines. Her debut historical fiction novel, His Gift, was published in 2020. 

Joan's life was shattered when she was in her forties and her childhood sweetheart, best friend, and only lover left the marriage for a woman 14 years younger. This devastated their Christian community beyond her own personal loss and sense of rejection.

This is only the beginning of her story!

During her jaw-dropping, amazing interview, Joan shares her story and how you can overcome any obstacle life throws at you - even at the most grievous times in your life.
