No Sanity Required

Anne grew up dodging addiction, chaos, and a revolving door of men who called her mother’s house home. She found rides to church, worked to keep the lights on, and learned to survive without going numb at a young age. Anne never knew her biological father until one day he showed up at Snowbird. When her father showed up, sick and short on time, she discovered how powerful it is to hear a dad say, “You matter.” After his death and her mother’s overdose, Anne faced grief without regret.Anne recounts her time hiking through the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails, and how the Lord used those times to grant her peace and clarity. Now, with her husband Hunter and their kids in Marietta, Anne is building a legacy rooted in faith, presence, and everyday grace. From miscarriage to miracles, she’s proof that ordinary faithfulness can change generations.Her Loss is Great, But God is Greater Pt. 1 | No Sanity StorySend us a textPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.
