Today Jenny sits down with Trish Von Adam for a deeply personal conversation about Trish's testimony, trauma recovery, and the long journey from survival into surrender. Trish shares how a lifetime of instability, painful relationships, and a major health crisis became the backdrop for a radically different calling: building a discipleship and inner-healing ministry called Let His People Go. In this episode, Trish opens up about childhood trauma, walking away from church life, rebuilding after a violent second marriage, and the family members who helped her find safety and support when everything fell apart. Trish explains how Scripture, rest, obedience, and presence became central to her recovery, and how those rhythms eventually shaped a 12-book curriculum with 144 lessons designed to help people move through discipleship, inner healing, and deliverance together.

Together Cindye walks us through who, what, when, where, and why these questions matter, and shows how asking them turns confusing or overwhelming passages into clear, life-giving truth.
