E011 Torah Bontrager: How I Escaped Amish-ism at Night at Age 15‪!‬ Tough Conversations with David Wood

Torah Bontrager tells the amazing story of her escape from Amish-ism in the middle of the night at age 15! 
We learn:
– The classic children’s story that inspired her to escape
– The difficult decision she had to make from the very beginning
– What happened when she put a gun to her head, aged 11
– How many attempts it took to escape
– Her help from the outside world
– Being blindsided by betrayal, and …
– How she’s now challenging the supreme court!
We’re all familiar with the uncomfortable feeling of being stuck. Listen to Torah’s story of desperation and daring and ask yourself: What’s keeping you from playing for real?
