When Sana when through the trauma of almost losing her nineteen-year-old son in a car crash, she did the unexpected: she shared the forty-three day experience on social media and asked the world to pray that God would do the impossible. Why? Because—as she says—then, “Everyone will know it was God.”
In part two of this conversation with Sana Latrease, I know you’ll be inspired by the tenacious faith of this mom who had the illogical belief that she would one day praise God for her son’s full recovery.
I had the privilege of sharing part of Sana’s story in my Bible study on the life of Sarah, Shaped by God’s Promises. Whether you’re here because you’re studying through this books with me, or you’re here as a regular listener, I hope you’ll be inspired by Sana’s story of God’s faithfulness.

The Sarah Series
Welcome to the Sarah series. In these early episodes, I’m talking with four women whose stories were highlighted in my new Bible study, Shaped by God’s Promises: Lessons from Sarah on Fear and Faith. I’ll be weaving thoughts about Sarah’s story, found in Genesis 12-21, into my conversations with these modern day women of faith:
- Heather Cofer
- Gaby Puente
- Sana Latrease
- Jill Savage
Then in our later episodes, we’ll follow our more typical pattern and I’ll discuss various Bible passages where Sarah’s story is told with an amazing lineup of Bible teachers, including Courtney Doctor, Ann Swindell and Carol Kent.
Whether you’re here because you’re studying through Shaped by God’s Promises, or you’re here as a regular listener, I hope you’ll be inspired by these conversations about fear and faith.
What Are You Waiting on God For?
Some of God’s promises are for now, and others are for later. So, how do you know which promises to cling to—especially when you’re in a long stretch of waiting on God?
My free “Pray God’s Promises” prayer guide, will help you pray the promises found directly in the Bible. It’s designed to help you sort out which promises are for here and now, and which ones are for later. Praying God’s promises found in your Bible is one of the ways God shapes you by his promises.
