Born in Harare, Zimbabwe, Brenda Savanhu’s journey has spanned continents and cultures.

She spent her early years between England and Zimbabwe, before moving to the United States at the age of 18.

From a young age, Brenda was an avid reader, finding comfort and inspiration in the pages of Nancy Drew mysteries and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot.

Brenda’s faith story is one of rediscovery. Though she first encountered Jesus as a teenager, it was in her early thirties—after a season of wandering—that she found herself drawn back into His embrace.

This profound return to faith became the foundation for her book, Memorial Stones: A Guided Devotional Journal for Foundational Miracles in Your Life.

Through her writing, Brenda encourages others to reflect on and celebrate the miracles that shape their spiritual journeys.

Today, Brenda shares her story to inspire hope and faith in others, inviting them to recognize the hand of God in their own lives.

In this episode, host Jan Johnson engages with Brenda Savannu, delving into the art of documenting life's spiritual journey through metaphoric memorial stones.

Brenda discusses how divine inspiration led her to create a book centered on pivotal moments where God's presence was profoundly felt.

Drawing from scriptural references, specifically from the Book of Joshua, they explore how these recorded journeys not only serve as personal testimonials of faith but also facilitate community sharing, fostering deeper connections.

Brenda shares how life events catalyzed her introspection, leading to a renewed faith and a unique way to chart her spiritual journey.

My guest, Lauren Burns, host of "The Redeemed Podcast," is no stranger to adversity.

Kidnapped at the age of seven and taken to Jordan by her father, Lauren’s journey of escape and survival became national news and was even adapted into a made-for-television movie.

Today, Lauren uses her platform to share stories of hope and redemption with her listeners.

As an advocate for faith and second chances, she believes that every story—no matter how dark—can have a redemptive ending.

Through her podcast, Lauren provides a space for others to tell their stories of transformation, whether through faith, personal growth, or overcoming challenges
