119: Look What God Can Do! being a teen mom didn't stop her with Lisa Steven

My guest, Lisa Steven, is the author of A Place to Belong: The true story of a Teen Mom, a Humbling Leadership Journey, and a House Called Hope. She is also the cofounder and executive director of Hope house Colorado.  Lisa was the oldest of four children. Her parents’ relationship was volatile. Her brother’s accident and unexpected death caused her to be mad at God.  At seventeen, she discovered she was pregnant. Being a teen mom wasn’t in her plans, but she and her boyfriend got married. His parents welcomed Lisa into their family. Her mother-in-law became an influential person in Lisa’s decision to grow her faith in Jesus. The leaders of MOPS – Moms of Preschoolers – and the other young mothers welcomed Lisa. It was here she learned that God redeems everything.  Years later, God called Lisa to start Hope House, which provides free personal, educational, and economic programs for teen moms.  Powerful quotes from Lisa: ·         “I just wanted his family.” ·         “He will always surround you with the most extraordinary people to make His call a reality.” ·         “Look what God can do! It’s crazy what He can do!” Bible verses: ·         Romans 8:28 ·         Jeremiah 29:11   Learn more about Lisa Steven: ·         Hope House Colorado https://hopehousecolorado.org Send me a COMMENT or QUESTION!
