216. How God uses a firefighter widow’s pain to serve others with Susan Vandepol

Have you ever felt like God called you to share your message but you’re not sure you have what it takes to write a book? My guest today, Susan Vanderpol, author of Life After Breath, didn't set out to be an author. She was grieving the loss of her Los Angeles City Firefighter husband, she had a calling she couldn't shake and a message she knew people desperately needed, but she had almost no writing experience and zero publishing connections. Susan and I connected on PodMatch and I couldn’t wait for her to share how God opened door after door, and how every setback turned out to be exactly what her message needed.
