About this listen

Today's society doesn't like to acknowledge trauma. As a result, it perpetuates from one generation to the next. From adoption, abandonment, neglect, sexual abuse, incarceration to so much more, we are telling our stories.

  • My Enemy vs. My Lord
    Aug 25 2025

    She was more than a drug user. From her very beginning, God had ordained this moment for Natasha to speak of His goodness. On the morning of April 16, 2021, Natasha LaTour was homeless. Having very little to maintain in her personal life, she found herself shot 10 times by accused serial killer, Wesley Brownlee and praying to God she wouldn't die. The alledged gunman is believed to have already murdered 5 people prior, when in the wee hours of that morning, gave reason for Natasha to believe she'll be victim number 6. She was bleeding out and on the verge of taking her last breath, when she spoke to God and asked him to save her. Ignorant to God's work, she felt the presence of her grand mother's and recalled their prayers for her. In that moment, she knew to call of the name of Jesus. Now sober, Natasha is screaming from the rooftop what she survived and how she did it. It was nobody but Jesus! No one can tell your story like you. As Natasha tells her story, it's impossible for her to do it without speaking of the goodness of our Lord and Savior.
