In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, KB sits down with faith-driven writer, teacher, and ministry leader Stephanie Meeker, author of the memoir When the Unthinkable Happens, whose life changed overnight in 2014 when her best friend Michelle was murdered by her estranged husband and Stephanie and her husband stepped in to raise Michelle's four children. Stephanie shares who Michelle really was — her contagious joy and the prayer life that shaped their friendship and walks through the day she drove to Michelle's house, the shock of identifying the suspect on video, the six-week trial two years later, and the nearly decade-long fight through foster care, social workers, a denied adoption, and a Virginia law they helped change so the children would not have to forfeit their inheritance to be adopted. Along the way she talks honestly about wrestling with God, journaling through grief when the pages stayed blank, the ministry of presence from friends who simply stayed, what not to say to someone who is grieving, and how Philippians 4:4-7 carried her from a season of desperation into a season of rejoicing. It's a raw, hope-filled conversation about surrender, community, and God's faithfulness when life turns out nothing like the life you prayed for.
Stephanie's book is available at StephanieMeeker.org, and she and KB are both speaking at Legacy of Her on September 24th in Manassas, Virginia.
