Suzanne Burns – Crisis Pregnancy and Foundation House Ministries
Suzanne Burns is my guest today and she is the Founder and Executive Director of Foundation House Ministries. In our conversation she shares her heart for young women who find themselves in a crisis pregnancy with little to no options.
As believers in Christ we know that life begins at conception and that life in the womb is sacred. But let’s get real, when your circumstance is less than desirable, if your options are non-existent or you have little to no support, not every pregnancy is perceived as a blessing.
So what does it truly look like to come along side a young woman to offer real time resources and real life answers to real life pain and suffering?
Suzanne’s passion comes from the personal experience of her own crisis pregnancy. Knowing the hurdles, challenges and all around red tape, she founded a ministry that meets young women where they are, providing resources, information, assistance etc.
As you listen in I think you’ll notice what stands out about Suzanne. It’s her heart posture of being humble, nonjudgemental, loving and yet firm. If you’re like me you can tell you’re not going to get anything over on her and yet she’s going to love you with the truth no matter how hard that might be to hear.
Suzanne truly gets the heart of God because she is steadfast in her encouragement and knows the deep value of being trustworthy. She genuinely wants to give each woman a glimpse of the Father’s heart and let them know there is never anything we can do that would cause God to give up on us. We can never go too far. He will always pursue us with the hope that we will let Him love us. No. Matter. What.
Listen and discover that Suzanne’s heart, hands and feet look very similar to those of the Christ.
Live Loved and Thrive!
