Sophie's Story ‘My mum and I were victims of an abusive family relationship for many years. Only recently did we find the courage to leave. Prior to leaving, my life was filled with so much darkness that I struggled to see hope and would question where God was in all of this. Mum, however, always played Rhema on the way to drop me at school and we were always uplifted and inspired by the messages we heard and reminded that God is with us even in the messy parts of our lives. Strangely, I felt understood by this radio station and was touched by each word of a song, message or Bible verse. Messages on Rhema sparked conversations between Mum and I about our situation and whether this was the life God had planned for us. This ultimately led us to leave the situation and step into the new life God had for us. This decision was heavy and many days following were a struggle, as we had to rebuild our lives, with many uncertainties and fears for the future. Rhema became our constant, to listen to and be reminded of our God who’s in control.’ – Sophie
