Emily Higgins is a mother of 5, together with her husband Ben is the campus Pastor of Life Church North in Brisbane, a healing evangelist, and author of a beautifully written blog all about Life, Motherhood and Leadership so once you’ve listened to this episode, go check out her blog at emilyhiggins.com.au
Emily’s faith is one that has been through the furnace - several times and as a result it is a beautiful thing to behold. When she was just 15 years old Emily was in a horrendous accident that nearly killed her. Years later when she was in her 4th pregnancy, Emily received the difficult news that her identical twin baby girls had TTTS, which is a life threatening condition. Unfortunately one of her babies died unexpectedly just weeks before birth and the other was born prematurely but clung to life.
So yes, Emily gets the highs and lows of faith and continues to trust and put her hope in a loving God. She puts it all so beautifully here in this conversation so grab some tissues as I introduce you to my friend Emily Higgins.
“There’s nothing like how near He (Jesus) draws to us when we’re in such pain.”
“God designed His church to be a loving, supportive community…and receiving help, and knowing that I was strong enough with people and not by myself… that was ok.”
