Hey babe. Welcome back to Big Girl Thoughts. For episode 02, I sat down with my friend Leah. She is a mighty prayer warrior, she serves at City Reach Church, and she has one of the biggest laughs you will ever hear. Don't let her tiny frame fool you. By 12 she had lost her innocence. By 14 she was on ecstasy every weekend. By her twenties she was on Vicodin, then meth, then homeless for two years. And then a door opened in a crack house in Oregon, and the man who answered it is now her husband. This one goes deep. If you have ever felt like you've gone too far, this episode is for you.   WHAT WE GET INTO 0:00 Meet Leah. 3:45 A family that loved Jesus, then asked to leave. 11:29 Twelve, looking for love. 27:25 When Vicodin came on the scene. 30:42 The conjoined twins. 35:43 The door Shane opened. 48:39 Sober in 2011. 55:14 "Are you done?" 58:04 Rapid fire with Leah.   ABOUT LEAH: Leah is a mighty prayer warrior on staff at City Reach Church. Wife to Shane (the man who answered the door), mom to two boys, Braxton and Kingston. Sober since 2011.   WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/Ovl_F86PvOA   FOLLOW BIG GIRL THOUGHTS Web: https://biggirlthoughts.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighleege/   #BigGirlThoughts #BGTPodcast #AshleighLeege #FaithJourney #TestimonyPodcast #ChristianWomenPodcast

At 17, two weeks before high school graduation, Treasa lost the woman who raised her and became the guardian of six siblings overnight. Today she leads ministry.
