SOE - Peggy Riggs

Welcome to The Story of Everyman. Today’s guest is Peggy Riggs, a woman whose life reminds us that “everybody enjoyed being around me, but that wasn’t the truth.” Peggy is one of the contributing authors in Armor of Light, where, as she puts it, “they’re just chapters — each person has a chapter.” But her chapter carries weight, honesty, and courage. Peggy opens up about a journey marked by questions, pain, and faith, sharing, “when I wrote my chapter in the book, I had a lot of questions about some issues,” and acknowledging that “it’s been a painful experience.” She speaks candidly about anger, identity, and healing — even admitting, “I was angry with God,” and later realizing something powerful: “My story — I’m aware now that my story can help change people’s lives.” This is a conversation about truth over appearances, about long journeys and the people who walk them with us, and about the courage it takes to finally tell your story — not for sympathy, but for hope. This… is Peggy Riggs. And this is The Story of Everyman.
