Finding Hope Within Your Story

finding hope your story overcoming trauma growing your faith

You have a story, and I’m sure, like mine, there are some chapters you would have left out had it been up to you or if you could go back in time. My guest today is here to help you find hope within your story and grow your faith even while overcoming trauma.

Episode #151: Finding Hope Within Your Story: Growing Your Faith While Overcoming Trauma


My guest today on UnPerfect is Dawn Linton, a licensed clinical social worker and chaplain. She provides emotional support and spiritual care for first responders in the aftermath of tragedy. Dawn balances work with self-care by pedaling bike paths, hiking wooded trails, and rowing the wooden boat her dad built. She plays the accordion in a local folk band and in the praise band at church. Dawn was married for twenty-two years before losing her husband to cancer in 2022. She has two sons, one stepdaughter, and seven grandchildren.

I may not know your story. But I do know that the Divine author is still writing it. And Dawn offers some strategies to wait, heal, and thrive while it’s being written. She is a treasury of biblical insights and practical ways to carry them out.

You’ll love this interview, and you’ll definitely want to grab her book!

As always, I’m in this with you, each UnPerfect step of the way…
