Losing Dakota, Finding God - TBH 396

"I was living on the reservation, with my father, drunk, my mother, drunk, and pointing a rifle at me and my siblings." ---------- In this moving episode, we meet Susy—a woman whose life has been marked by deep loss, relentless struggle, and extraordinary moments of grace. Raised amid instability on an Indian reservation and searching for belonging across multiple faith traditions, Susy carried trauma into adulthood. She would lose her husband to cancer and later her daughter, Dakota, whose life was overshadowed by spiritual torment and addiction. Yet through every season, God kept breaking through. From miraculous interventions—including one that stopped her from ending her own life—to the unexpected moment she discovered "Touched by Heaven" on Coast to Coast A.M., Susy began to see that she had been pursued by a faithful God all along. This is a story of a soul relentlessly loved back home. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.
