Could God use the pain of your past to grow a dream in your heart?

Kim Tschirret grew up in what appeared to be a normal home, but the hidden truth of her father’s alcoholism and abuse was a source of deep pain and secrecy. The only safe place she knew as a child was in her horse’s stable.

By God’s mercy, grace, and eventual healing of her childhood trauma, Kim’s story doesn’t end there. In fact, it continues to be told in the healing of more than 2,000 children over the past 15 years who have benefited from equine therapy provided through her nonprofit ministry, Hope Reins.

Tune in as Kim shares insights on the power of equine therapy for healing childhood trauma. She also shares a bit of the backstory of how God planted a dream in her heart for hurting kids to find hope and healing through a relationship with rescued horses.
