I’m honored to sit down with Ellie Peak Collins, the daughter of Cindy Peak, who was tragically killed in the Covenant School shooting here in Nashville.This is Ellie’s first interview, and I’m incredibly grateful for her willingness to share her heart.

She speaks about the hope of heaven, the faith her mother lived so beautifully, and the choice she’s made not to live in bitterness, even sharing the sorrow she feels for the shooter’s family.It’s a conversation about loss, faith, and the kind of hope that only God can provide.I’m so honored to share this conversation with you. Thank you to our generous Got It From My Momma podcast friends!

AUTUMN NELON STREETMAN- THE NELONS | HOPE AFTER TRAGEDY | Got it From My Momma | EP 128

Send us Fan MailToday’s conversation is one I won’t soon forget.I’m sitting down with Autumn Nelon Streetman, the youngest member of the beloved Nelon Family gospel group - a family whose harmonies have carried the hope of the Gospel to generations. But this episode isn’t about the music, its about healing after unimaginable loss… and an unshakable faith.Autumn was six months pregnant when a plane carrying her family to a performance crashed, taking the lives of the people she loved most, including her mother, step-father, older sister and brother in law.In our conversation, Autumn shares never-before-heard details about that day… what it was like to return to the crash site… and the sentimental items that were recovered from the wreckage. She speaks candidly about carrying both joy and sorrow, about what it looks like to step out in faith when the future feels uncertain… and her calling to continue the music... And if you’ve ever wondered how faith survives tragedy… this is a conversation you need to hear.MINGLE MOCKTAILSwww.minglemocktails.comUse MOMMA15 for 15% offMOZI WASH15% off No Code Neededhttps://oken.do/fi55jptvThank you to our generous Got It From My Momma podcast friends!
