Did you know that your worst setback is your most incredible comeback? Join Beth M. Jones as she interviews Tamra Schmitt for this powerful, encouraging interview about how God can be known and praised even in the midst of the darkest, most challenging circumstances of life.

Tamra's prayer through her healing journey has been, "God, please be made known in this."

Tamra, a three-time cancer "thriver," is founder of Whispers from Heaven Ministries. Through her ministry, she writes and speaks to draw others into intimacy with God - one heart at a time. Tamra and her ministry team share hope through faith-based bookmarks she creates and distributes with her team.

She also enjoys spending time with her family and her friends, walking in the beauty of a sunrise, and retreating at Pacem in Terris Hermitage Retreat Center.

On today's show, Tamra shares about the 22 times she has traveled to Pacem to spend precious time with the Lord for a "reset" and a refreshing at one of the center's rustic, simple prayer cabins.

Hear about the powerful time she encountered with Jesus on the boardwalk and when a heart-shaped leaf fell on her during her walk in nature.

You will learn what to expect when you get there at Pacem, about the beauty of the acres of land there with three miles of walking trails, the fruit, cheese, and bread baskets and bottles of water you receive when you arrive as a guest, and the prayers that the staff cover you with before, during, and after your arrival.

Above all, Tamra encourages you that you matter and are deeply loved by God, and to have that intimate relationship every day with Jesus.

Tamra lives in her hometown of Hampton, Iowa, and her greatest blessings call her Aunt MeMe, Aunt Tamra, or Aunt Tami.


Scripture:

"Be still and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:11
