About this listen

 One thing each of us can not avoid is a lifetime full of heartache. While the world we live in has taught us to prepare for unforeseen events, they've done little in teaching us how to cope. They also don't tell you this…….Adversity is where the true YOU emerges if you let it. Whether it is the beginning of the end or you choose to find the silver lining, it's ALL up to you. This podcast is about owning our ability to be resilient as it is our super power. The way we choose to persevere is our opportunity to not be reduced by our circumstance. That's been my entire life and probably most of yours! Welcome To The Resilient Heart Podcast. This podcast is for powerful women just like you that don't deserve to deal with this alone! Each week we're going to uncover how each of us have the unique ability to maintain our core integrity and strength in the face of dramatic circumstance. I am her, and so are you!2020 Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

Linda shares the sacred experience of holding Abigail as she passed and the recent posthumous adoption that made Abigail permanently part of her family. The conversation reveals how Linda's ministry has expanded beyond babies to include 900 unclaimed adults and even victims of serial killers, including the Fox Hollow murders. Throughout the discussion, Linda reflects on how this work has shaped her family, particularly her partnership with her husband and pastor son. She also opens up about navigating her current season of grief following the loss of her daughter Anna to an eating disorder, while continuing to say yes to God's assignments. This episode captures the intersection of profound loss, unwavering faith, and the courage to show up in the darkest places with love and dignity.

Based in Indianapolis, Linda has become known throughout the state for her bereavement work in hospitals and her partnership with Safe Haven Baby Boxes, where she celebrates the mothers who safely surrender their babies. Her ministry has gained national attention, with stories featured in major media outlets including the Indianapolis Star. Linda is married to Steve, who serves as an overseas pastor in Ukraine, and together they've raised four children while building ministries that "bring heaven to earth." Her son is a pastor at Antioch Indy church and often partners with her in ministry work. Linda recently experienced the profound loss of her daughter Anna, who battled an eating disorder for 18 years before passing away in 2024. Despite walking through deep grief, Linda continues her work with unwavering faith, believing that God uses everything and that everyone deserves to be known by name.
