About Authors

Voices of Victory. Stories of Strength. Testimonies of Transformation.

The Disrupting Trauma Anthology brings together courageous believers who have walked through fire and emerged refined by faith.

Each contributing author has faced unimaginable pain—and chosen to let God write a different ending.

These are not polished stories from people who had it easy.
These are raw, real testimonies from survivors who refused to let trauma have the final word.

Mothers. Fathers. Entrepreneurs. Educators. Ministers. Recovering addicts. Families.
Everyday people with extraordinary faith.

What unites them?

A willingness to break their silence so that someone else can break free.

It was preparation.
