In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jen Jacobson Brusa, founder and owner of Beloved Cheesecakes. You’ll hear her story of abuse, both as a child and in her marriage, and how God is using the greatest trials in her life to serve up love through her wildly successful “Beloved Cheesecakes” business!
Topics discussed in this episode:
- Hear Jen’s childhood story of neglect and abuse, and how her longing for love and a family left her feeling broken.
- Come to see how shame can sometimes guilt us into doing things God may not want for us.
- Understand how trauma can cause us to operate out of pain and lead us down a path that further harms us.
- Hear Jen’s testimony story of how God pursued her through a series of encounters with strangers.
- Celebrate the story of Beloved Cheesecakes, and how God has restored her life through her business!
Before you jump in, I want to put a little disclaimer out there that Jen’s story covers multiple difficult topics you might not want little ears to hear. Thank you to Jen for her openness and vulnerability in sharing her story so that we can come to understand some of the lessons she’s learned through tremendous trials, be inspired by the way God has moved in her life, and celebrate alongside her for the life she’s living today!
