Interview with Brianna Edwards, Part 1 - Season 5, Episode 26
When Brianna Edwards was almost 5 years old, life changed drastically. Her family welcomed the birth of her brother Nathaniel, but he was born with special needs—and her mother nearly died giving birth. From ages 5 to 9½, Brianna’s “normal” became hospital visits, medical procedures, and nonstop caregiving. For many families, this is everyday life, though it’s often forgotten by others. In this conversation, Brianna reflects on how those years shaped her, how she learned to lead and care well, and how her family now serves the special-needs community through Nathaniel’s Hope. Her story invites us to consider: What is your role in caring for families who are exhausted, uncertain, and desperate for help as they share God’s love in difficult seasons?
