About this episode

Alesha Hollinger shares her powerful story of survival and faith after a life-changing event.

For the next six weeks on the StoryTellers Live podcast, we'll be sitting down with several of the storytellers featured in our new devotional, Where Hope Meets You . Our prayer is that through these conversations, you'll be reminded that no story is beyond the reach of God's grace and that His mercies are truly new every morning. After this series, we will take a 7-week sabbatical and then return to the podcast with NEW stories from our live gatherings this Fall on September 9th! In today's episode, podcast host Katie Dunn talks with Alesha Hollinger. You can listen to Alesha's original story by clicking HERE . A little over three years ago, Alesha's life changed forever when she was shot in the face during a mass shooting. Two years later, she courageously shared her story at one of our live gatherings just outside of Atlanta. In today's conversation, Alesha reflects on the ways God revealed His presence, power, peace, and faithfulness not only on the day of the shooting but in the days, months, and years that followed. This heartfelt episode is a powerful reminder that even when life takes an unexpected turn, God is still near, still faithful, and still writing our stories…
