259 | Desperate Prayers (Part One) with Rachel Wojo

In this first half of our two-part conversation, author and speaker Rachel Wojo shares her journey with her daughter Taylor, who was diagnosed with a rare degenerative condition. Rachel opens up about the challenges and the joys of parenting a special needs child, walking through divorce and disappointment, and holding onto her faith as Taylor's health declined, ultimately leading to her homegoing at the age of 22 in 2019.

Rachel is the author of Desperate Prayers and a multitude of other helpful books and resources related to Bible study and prayer. She also hosts an excellent weekly podcast called Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo.

In this episode:

• Parenting a child with a terminal illness
• The joys and challenges of special needs caregiving
• God’s grace in the midst of grief and loss
• The miracle of Taylor’s adoption before her homegoing
