312: Can God Really Heal My Hurting Heart? (with Rachel Wojo)

In this episode of Grieving Parents Sharing Hope: Can God Really Heal My Hurting Heart?, I sit down with Rachel “Wojo” Wojnarowski, who knows the deep pain of child loss firsthand. After miscarriages and saying goodbye to her precious daughter Taylor, who lived 22 years with courage and faith, Rachel learned to cling to prayer as her lifeline in the darkest valleys. Rachel shares Taylor’s story, the peace God gave her in the hardest moments, and how prayer has carried her through seasons of grief. We talk about her book Desperate Prayers, the surprising “secret fast-track to healing,” and the ways God meets us when we feel like we can’t breathe, let alone pray. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can really heal your broken heart, this conversation will remind you that His grace is stronger than our deepest pain. Rachel’s honesty and faith are a true gift for pareavors walking this hard road. After experiencing profound loss through miscarriage and saying goodbye to her beloved daughter, who blessed their family for 22 years, Rachel “Wojo” Wojnarowski embraced prayer as her lifeline in life’s darkest valleys. Her transformative “Three-Word Prayers” approach has become a sanctuary for countless believers when words seem impossible. The author of “Desperate Prayers” and three forthcoming books on prayer, Rachel’s authentic ministry reaches families worldwide. A sought-after speaker who brings both compassion and biblical wisdom to faith-based events, Rachel lives in Ohio with her husband Matt and six children. Rachel’s ministry stands on the unshakable truth, discovered in her darkest valleys and shaped by the memory of her two children in heaven: Prayer moves mountains.
