The Gospel According to Mum Tanya Reason

Jessica Paewai is a mother of two, a business owner and training to be a Religious Instruction teacher.After growing up in a strict Pentecostal church in South Africa, Jessica had wandered far from God and her faith. After many years in the world, one morning, she found herself literally running to church. And yet her relationship with God remained lukewarm until the day she and her husband received the devastating news that their 3 year old son had been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is a severe and progressive muscular disorder which affects all muscles in the body, including those used for breathing and spine support. Children with DMD generally lose the ability to walk by the age of 12 years.
Jessica shares how this event brought herself and members of her family back into deep relationship with God, and how it began writing a story of both physical and spiritual healing into her life. We discuss these events and the extraordinary power that speaking the Word of the Lord can have on body and soul.

Tanya Greig is a mother of 2 and works in school administration. She has been a Christian all her life and served in various roles including religious instruction in schools. At 36 she was diagnosed with breast cancer that began a 7-year journey into deep relationship with God.
In part 2 of this episode, we hear how Tanya's journey with cancer led her through multiple treatments and surgeries. Even after she lost and regained the ability to walk, her faith in God has continued to grow, as He led her through every trial. We discuss the surprise it still is when God shows us even a tiny portion of the love He has for us, and our very human response to His generosity.

In part 1 of this episode, Tanya shares how her journey with God through cancer began. We begin to tease out the conflict between our reliance on the body for this life and our trust in God who sustains it and uses it for His eternal purpose. Step by step, God gently moved into the central position in Tanya's life, remarkably, revealing His life-giving power through events that seemed so destructive.
