36 Interview with Hannah Edwards: Church Planter | Acquainted with Grief | Making Room for Brokenness

Send us Fan MailLeave a review of the show on iTunes or Stitcher Hannah is a Midwesterner loving the Colorado life. She’s married to Brad -- a pastor, passionate engager of culture and beer, and a lover of bourbon. They were recently blessed with a bright-eyed baby boy, Ransom, after five years of infertility. While learning to be new parents, they attempt to keep up with their spirited husky/blue heeler mix, Scout, and meet the needs of their entitled cat, Brooklyn. Brad and Hannah started The Table Church in Lafayette, Colorado, with a beautiful group of adventurous souls in 2016. Hannah does not consider herself a “dreamer” but rather a pragmatist. She is learning how those two things can intersect in a redemptive way in Gospel community. In this interview, Hannah shares what it’s been like to face the deepest grief of her life – and some of the greatest joy – while planting a brand-new church with her husband. She shares how this experience changed her and opened her up even more to walk in brokenness and grief alongside others. It has also pointed her straight to our Savior, Jesus, and given her a passion for others to live in the freedom and identity that’s been given to us in Him. Did you know that 1 in 8 couples (or 12% of married women) have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy according to the National Survey of Family Growth, CDC. So, whether or not infertility is part of your story, you probably know someone who is impacted by it. My prayer in sharing stories like Hannah’s is that we’ll all learn more about how to walk in grace with our friends and loved ones who are hurting.
