When Suzanne was diagnosed with a rare eye cancer in 2018, her world came crashing down. She felt completely overwhelmed and struggled through every stage of grief. She learned how to chase Jesus and has since pursued a deeper and more intimate walk with God. She will encourage you, make you laugh and bring you to tears with stories of how God has moved in her life before and after the diagnosis.
"Suzanne is so incredibly engaging and inspiring to listen to... She has so much joy in her heart as she expresses what the Lord has done in her life and what He can do in your life." —Becky Warthan, Church Life Pastor, Hope Point Church
