This is where we will help you remember the places where God has shown up in the past, giving you the tools and the strength to navigate through today's challenges. I'm Brenda Savanhu, author of Memorial Stones, writer, coach, and companion on the journey of remembering what God has done. Friends, today I'm so excited to welcome our first guest, our first fruits, Tiffany Breerton. I'm so excited to have her here.

TIFFANY BREARTON (01:46.273)
Wow, what an introduction and thank you so much Brenda for having me. I'm so excited that I'm your first guest. Thanks so much.

Brenda Savanhu (01:54.222)
I know! I am so excited! And we found out that we have someone in common, Chardae. Chardae Jones, right?

TIFFANY BREARTON (02:01.511)
yes! Yes, yes. So amazing. Yes, and she's awesome. Shout out to Sade. Yes.

Brenda Savanhu (02:08.234)
Isn't she? Shout out to Chardae. Chardae, if you hear this episode, shout out to you. We love you. So I did a little bit of research and I listened to some podcasts that you were on. And so where I wanted to jump in immediately was to ask you about your hair.

So now listeners, know that this is an audio podcast, so you're not seeing Tiffany on video, but if you go to her website, you will see her hair. Tell me about your hair, Tiffany.

TIFFANY BREARTON (02:42.051)
Well, it's ever changing. One of the things is I'm super creative and honestly, some days I just wanna match my outfit and today I am wearing purple, so I have purple hair. But honestly, it started as part of my healing journey. was like a lot of women really just worried about what others thought of me and just am still like healing all these years from people pleasing.


TIFFANY BREARTON (03:10.243)
And there was this one day I was working at Sally Beauty Supply actually, and I really wanted like half of my hair pink and half of my hair purple. And like, I'm creative and that sounded fun, but something in me like stopped and I was so terrified to actually do it. And so I just took that moment to try to figure out where this fear was coming from.

TIFFANY BREARTON (03:39.383)
And I really thought that the Lord highlighted that I was more afraid of what others thought than I was of what he thought. And I was like, wow, okay, I cannot have that. So challenge accepted. I went home and I made half my hair pink and half my hair purple. And then the scariest part is I had to walk in church like that and

TIFFANY BREARTON (04:08.533)
walk into all the spaces and when you're healing from people pleasing, walking into a place with pink and purple hair, you cannot hide. You just can't. So of course I was, you know, I just had to walk courageously in and let everyone judge me if they wanted to judge me. And you know, I was met.

Brenda Savanhu (04:08.673)
Wow.

Brenda Savanhu (04:20.171)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (04:32.119)
You know, we work ourselves up in our mind, but I was met with a lot of love and people were excited and they wanted to try things like that their whole life. But again, we're too scared to. So it's honestly been part of my healing journey. And now it's just like a part of me. Like I forget that I have, you know, different color hair all the time or so, but he's really a personal God and he meets his where.

Brenda Savanhu (04:55.522)
Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (05:00.674)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (05:01.773)
we're at and he might have you change your hair color someday, who knows?

Brenda Savanhu (05:07.278)
Right? Well, you wear it well. when I heard that on that podcast, I was like, like, you know, I wrote a book called Memorial Stones, which is about remembering the places where God showed up. I'm like, that's one of Tiffany's Memorial Stones is changing her hair and realizing and God saying, you don't have to please man. Like.

do what makes you happy. And the other thing I was thinking about around that Tiffany is identity.

Right? Like you allowed yourself to lean into your identity, even with the fear, but you are a creative person and having your hair the way that you envisioned it, that's part of your identity.

TIFFANY BREARTON (06:02.059)
Amen, absolutely. honestly, like being the way I am, especially in church spaces, I didn't always feel comfortable and I tried to put myself in like their box and like fit into what I thought they wanted me to be. And that's not who God made me to be, right? So just going back to just my original design and checking in with the creator and

TIFFANY BREARTON (06:30.015)
Loving the things that he created about me like so personal like the creative piece of me and just walking in that and owning it and really just like you know not disrespecting our creator instead of like, know God you're wrong. Why would you make me this way? You know, like who am I to say something like that? But we do it all the time because we're just so consumed and worried about what other people think about us

Brenda Savanhu (06:50.081)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (06:59.533)
but how about trusting the God of the universe and his creation in us? So yeah, it was a life lesson and I think it even has been really cool because a lot of women will just talk about that piece of me and how it's kind of given them permission to do things that, you know, they always wanted to do. So, which I would have thought the opposite if I would have just gave in to the fear.

TIFFANY BREARTON (07:29.461)
you know that you know that was crazy and they wouldn't like me it's it's done the complete opposite.

Brenda Savanhu (07:33.993)
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, hair is a huge thing, because even for me, my hair. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, for years I wanted locks, but I was in corporate America and that kind of hairstyle wasn't allowed and all of these things. But then I finally had the opportunity to do it. And whenever anyone asks me about my

TIFFANY BREARTON (07:41.505)
which is beautiful by the way.

Brenda Savanhu (08:04.266)
lock journey, I always say I felt like I was finally entering my identity, like who I really like, because it's a huge part of who I am. It's not all of who I am, but it's a big part of it. Yeah. Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (08:10.998)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (08:17.282)
Sure. Yeah. You just like feel comfortable in your own skin. And I think that, you know, is a journey and it takes some time. You know, I think there's a big difference between freedom and liberty and what that looks like. You know, we're all free because God saved us, praise the Lord. But sometimes we don't really act free. And I think that's when liberty comes into play is when we are literally

Brenda Savanhu (08:45.55)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (08:47.298)
fully walking and who we are in our identity. That is true liberty. Yes, we were free for a long time, but until we go back and heal the wounds and welcome God into those spaces and just, you know, go on this beautiful journey with Him, are we really free and walking in that liberty He promised us.

Brenda Savanhu (08:54.73)
Right.

Brenda Savanhu (09:12.074)
Yeah, I'm reminded of that scripture where the spirit of the Lord is there's freedom and that when we allow him and his spirit to heal us in those places, that's when we truly find liberty, right? Like you're saying. And we're walking in the fullness of who he created us to be.

TIFFANY BREARTON (09:25.525)
Amen.

TIFFANY BREARTON (09:32.68)
Amen. think Luke 418 sums up what you're trying to say, you know, what Jesus came here, kind of his mission statement, and it's to give us liberty and set the captives free. And there's a whole bunch of other things that I can't recite off of it. But honestly, you know, like there there is a huge difference of freedom and liberty.

Brenda Savanhu (09:50.474)
Hahaha!

Brenda Savanhu (09:57.101)
Yeah, wow. Okay, so digging a little bit deeper on this piece and this memorial stone of your hair and not people pleasing, what other places or areas in your life shifted with that discovery? Like what other places where did you realize you were people pleasing?

TIFFANY BREARTON (10:21.568)
my goodness. Number one, I love the memorial stones. I love that you see that and it's just, you know, looking back if we can remember those spaces where God met us, you know, we can always remember our faith and hold on to him. But I think just kind of just reiterating just what the hair has done for me is just, you know, really just honoring the creator.

TIFFANY BREARTON (10:51.422)
and stop rejecting it. Women just get caught in the trap over and over and it's so sad to see that we do it. We're trying to be everything for everyone instead of the creator himself. now like if people have something to say about me, because trust me, they do and my personality is big and...

Brenda Savanhu (11:15.936)
Mm-hmm, of course.

TIFFANY BREARTON (11:19.104)
Sometimes people think that's too much and like now I'm just like sorry you take it up with the creator because it's not like Rejecting myself anymore. It's not rejecting who I am because in doing that I'm rejecting him and saying Your creations messed up dude, like what were you doing? Which is what I was doing for you know, and so it's none of my business

TIFFANY BREARTON (11:47.659)
what other people think about me. You know, it's none of my concern. My concern is, is my purpose is in my identity. That's why he created me this way, uniquely on purpose, for a purpose. And so walking in that is really all he needs me to do. You know, at the end of the day, just uniquely, I have a unique voice.

Brenda Savanhu (12:17.146)
Right. And because what the other people think, that's their issue. It's not yours. You know, it's not mine. What other people think, that's their burden to carry. And so that's such a healthy place where you are now, where that doesn't... You know people are still going to say stuff, but you're like, nope, this is who I am. This is who God created me to be. And I'm not going to smite him.

TIFFANY BREARTON (12:26.178)
100%.

Brenda Savanhu (12:47.074)
by not embracing the fullness of who I am.

TIFFANY BREARTON (12:51.874)
100 % and I just find it so valuable. Just a little bit of my backstory, you know, was sexually abused as a young girl, walked into a strip club to become a stripper at the age of 18, just recently found out my story was one of human trafficking as well. And so all of those things seem too much for people, but I know

TIFFANY BREARTON (13:18.72)
that there's a bigger purpose for those things and that me saying them really just allows for other people who feel like they are too far gone and who have no hope to see that our God is good and we don't have to clean up and pretend like come and you are, he is the savior of the universe. We are not, even though we think we are and he will make that mess.

TIFFANY BREARTON (13:47.254)
his message like he's done for me. So just owning it, you know?

Brenda Savanhu (13:51.119)
He has, yeah. I'm glad you segued us to how you were a stripper and just that part of your journey, because I was thinking about that too, when you were sharing about your hair. That isn't who you were even back then when you walked into that strip club at 18, right? As a virgin.

TIFFANY BREARTON (14:18.049)
Right.

Brenda Savanhu (14:20.334)
That wasn't your identity. That wasn't who you were. So who were you pleasing?

TIFFANY BREARTON (14:26.356)
Yeah, it's so funny because now looking back, you you see things differently when you look back, especially when you found some sort of levels of healing. But really, God has been highlighting for a very long time that really the root of all of that was the sexual trauma. And starting at a young age, the enemy really started

TIFFANY BREARTON (14:52.314)
whispering a different story than God was whispering through the sexual trauma. I mean the moment that happened, that's not supposed to happen to a child. So the moment that happened that started telling me a story that I was only worth my body and that was the only value I had. And so you'll see this often with people who have any sort of sexual abuse in their background that sometimes those things

TIFFANY BREARTON (15:21.248)
take place, you know, either they become very promiscuous, they get into the industry I was in. It's just a way that the enemy comes in to kill, steal and destroy us, which is what his plan was for my life. But God, God took what you know, the enemy meant for evil and he turned it for good. And now he uses it as a superpower. Like it's like a kicking a teeth to the enemy like

TIFFANY BREARTON (15:51.219)
No, this is my story now for his glory. So what he meant to destroy me has done quite the opposite and has shared. I've shared with so many women, hundreds and thousands of women over the years now this story. And now they can find hope that their mess wasn't just a mess and it wasn't for nothing that he can make it, you know, his message to so.

Brenda Savanhu (16:19.382)
Yeah. Isn't that amazing? That's the, know, God works everything together for the good of those that love him and are called according to his purpose. So in that, that was an ugly place to be abused, sexually abused as a child. And for God to use that now to impact thousands and thousands of women, not that he wanted that to happen to you.

TIFFANY BREARTON (16:20.512)
The joke's on me.

TIFFANY BREARTON (16:33.259)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (16:47.425)
Right.

Brenda Savanhu (16:48.078)
but that he's like, okay, we're not gonna waste this. And actually what the enemy thought he was doing has actually saved many more, right? And brought them to freedom and liberty and coming out of the bondage of sex trafficking and the adult entertainment industry.

TIFFANY BREARTON (17:11.52)
Yes Brenda, say that. Say that piece again. The enemy did it, not God, but God used it. God used it and that's what he wants to do. And trust me, I know that my God was so grieved by that moment when that happened. And just like anyone else, that wasn't supposed to happen. It's not okay.

TIFFANY BREARTON (17:38.051)
but God can turn it all around for his good and he can heal us. The enemy is always gonna lose, darkness is always going to lose. He is the light of the world. He's a great physician. He's the great I am. He's been parting seas since the beginning of time and he can do it for anyone. Like I'm not a unique story here. If you want him to do it for you, he can do it.

Brenda Savanhu (17:55.253)
Amen. Amen. Yeah. Right.

Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (18:07.116)
for you. You just have to invite him into those dark spaces.

Brenda Savanhu (18:11.83)
I love this. So, okay, I feel like you're reading my mind because you said invite him into the dark spaces. So talk to me about that place. When you look back on this evil that was done to you, how do you see God or where do you see God in that journey? And then tell me a little bit more about your faith journey, where it started.

TIFFANY BREARTON (18:19.562)
Yay!

TIFFANY BREARTON (18:38.378)
Yeah, that's such a good question because it is really hard to put God in those moments with you because number one, it's like a very vulnerable space and you know, he's our father and to think that he was seeing and experiencing those things is just, you know, awful but he is our father and he is our protector and I know as

TIFFANY BREARTON (19:06.78)
any amazing good father would be that he was there and he was loving me and he wired my brain to be able to you know just get through these things and all the things he was there in my creation he was there in the moments he was there you know i love even the footprints poem because sometimes it doesn't feel like that but man what he's carried me through and

TIFFANY BREARTON (19:36.676)
how things could have really looked in circumstances I've been in. It just, it blows me away and we don't understand anything, but I do know that that wasn't God's plan. That was the enemy's plan and that's how he tried to kill and steal and destroy me, but God was faithful. So going back to the other question, I actually did not, I was born and raised Catholic and I didn't understand

TIFFANY BREARTON (20:06.647)
that you could have a relationship with Jesus for like until I was 28 years old, I think it was something like that. So as all these things were happening to me, I really didn't see God in those things in the moment. You know, I thought I was like, if there's a God, then why is all these bad things happening? Like a lot of us do. Yeah, so until I like met and encountered

Brenda Savanhu (20:22.476)
Wow, yeah, yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (20:29.366)
Yeah, absolutely.

TIFFANY BREARTON (20:35.299)
the real living God and just had a relationship and invited Jesus into my life and my heart. I didn't know him. I just knew of him, but now I know of him in a very personal way. So my faith journey didn't start till my late 20s, but man, was like, in moments...

Brenda Savanhu (20:48.621)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (21:01.695)
Looking back at all the you know, monumental stones you talk about like it was I had to go through all of those things to see him and to really know that I was at the end of me and the only where to go was to look up and so when I found him and I heard like about the real Jesus and about the real Savior

Brenda Savanhu (21:06.23)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (21:12.598)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (21:31.202)
There was like hope again for the first time in my life. Like you mean to tell me, even if all we hear in that hope messages is that this world is not it. And after all this crap, you get to spend an eternity with him in heaven. That's literally enough. You know what I mean? Like, my gosh, you mean there's another world? Like praise the Lord, but there's so much more.

TIFFANY BREARTON (21:59.896)
He wants the good for us while we're living. There's so much more and he wants deep relationship with us. The God of the universe wants to be my best friend and he speaks to me and he loves me. That's just, it blows my mind. Yeah. Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (22:12.353)
You

Brenda Savanhu (22:18.124)
right? It is mind-blowing. It is mind-blowing. So give me a little bit of a timeline. So you walked into that strip club at 18 and then you got saved at 28. So what happened in those 10 years?

TIFFANY BREARTON (22:31.395)
Yeah, a lot actually so I Left probably a few years later. So probably 20 21 years old I think I was 21 and then I just found myself I had had a baby single mom and Found myself looking for like the fairy tale like wanted to make Find a husband find a father to my child. So I ended up in

broken relationship after broken relationship. My first marriage was to a man at the actual strip club and he was supposed to be a man who was giving me safety and protection. Instead he was not. He was 34 and I was 18. He told me he was fixed. He was not. I ended up marrying him.

Brenda Savanhu (23:02.45)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (23:19.918)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (23:25.557)
and it was just trauma after trauma and then I found myself in relationship after relationship that kind of felt like I was dating the same guy, you know, but it wasn't the same guy. So I just like called it quits on dating for a while and really just sat down and wrote a list again. God was with me, but I didn't know he was with me, was not in relationship with him. But I was like, okay, this can, I need to break the cycle.

Brenda Savanhu (23:35.838)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (23:48.824)
Mm-hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (23:55.094)
I identified that I was in a cycle and I needed to break the cycle and I'm gonna say, I know. Yeah, I mean, was God, it had to be God like.

Brenda Savanhu (23:58.479)
that's wonderful that you identified you were in a cycle.

Because even I mean you said it wasn't the same guy, but it was the same guy. I mean, I completely get that you were dating the same personality. That's a cycle. Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (24:10.667)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I know he was with me all that time because a 20 something year old kid with all that trauma just doesn't come up with that on her own. You know what I mean? That's that's God. So I sat down and I start making a checklist of you know, like what they needed to do to show me love and just cute little 20 year old things like they need to be cute and I wanted him to be a singer.

Brenda Savanhu (24:23.52)
No. Yeah.

Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (24:40.139)
and all those things, so made a checklist and stayed single and really focused in on taking care of me and my daughter. And then about a year later, I met a lovely man who started checking all the things off the checklist and I was like, okay. And so we, it was like really quick, we ended up, mean, I think we were engaged within six months, married within a year.

Brenda Savanhu (24:47.598)
Mmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (25:06.791)
And then the unthinkable happened and I wish I was telling you that well not wish anymore, but I This part of my story I thought was my fairy tale ending but he actually ended up being diagnosed with leukemia and he died Thank you. So my first husband Divorce second husband now my widow in my 20s died of leukemia deep grief

Brenda Savanhu (25:23.534)
I'm so sorry to hear that.

Brenda Savanhu (25:32.236)
Hmm, wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (25:36.373)
so much so that I put my name and picture on a headstone and I thought that was it for me. And I thought I would never have the opportunity to be a wife and mom again, but God.

Brenda Savanhu (25:47.734)
Wait a minute, let's just pause a second. You put your name and your picture on a tombstone?

TIFFANY BREARTON (25:54.062)
With him, yeah. I purchased the plot with him. Still to this day, my picture and name are on a headstone with him.

Brenda Savanhu (26:05.672)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (26:06.963)
Yeah, I thought the dream.

Brenda Savanhu (26:08.546)
Because you were thinking this is it. I'm not gonna be with anyone else like.

TIFFANY BREARTON (26:11.679)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (26:15.091)
I mean, look at all of the relationships, the crazy I came out of my first marriage ends in divorce, trapped in the cycle of relationships, finally thought I found my Prince Charming, and then he dies of leukemia. Hope was gone for me at that point when it came to relationship or even just like my dream of becoming a mother again, you know, like, so I thought

That was off the table.

Brenda Savanhu (26:48.546)
getting chills. Carry on.

TIFFANY BREARTON (26:49.539)
So but God I had found Jesus Right. I mean literally the month before That husband got diagnosed with leukemia. I Found I heard a message. I went to a Baptist Church heard a message There was an altar call and for the first time felt the Holy Spirit Went up had my first encounter with the Living God

Brenda Savanhu (27:03.63)
Okay.

TIFFANY BREARTON (27:17.891)
And my husband at the time was actually an atheist as well. And so he got diagnosed with leukemia, reacted like his first chemo treatment when we were in the hospital, he reacted so poorly that he ended up in the ICU almost dead. And so when he came to, I knew that he really respected this younger pastor at the Baptist Church we had started going to.

TIFFANY BREARTON (27:47.645)
And

Brenda Savanhu (27:48.01)
Why did you start going to the Baptist Church when he was an atheist?

TIFFANY BREARTON (27:50.949)
It's not that cool of a story, but we were doing an MLM, like a multi-level marketing, you know, business at the time. And we start getting Seeds Planet. That's why Seeds Planet are so important. We start hearing people on stage, like leadership talk about hearing from God and things like that. So it was like a set up because none of us had heard that stuff before. So we just kind of wrote it off. But seeds were being planted.

Brenda Savanhu (27:59.383)
Okay, uh-huh.

Brenda Savanhu (28:15.854)
Mm-hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (28:21.046)
So a mentor of ours invited us to church and because we respected him and he was a mentor of ours, we both went. And so we started hearing the gospel, the Holy Spirit started to move. Amen. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So, and then I invited this young pastor to the ICU that

Brenda Savanhu (28:35.694)
So the seeds fell on fertile ground. They fell on the good soil. Okay.

TIFFANY BREARTON (28:49.156)
my husband at the time had like, respected and he came and I left the room and he walks out probably a half hour later and he was like, he gave his life to Jesus. So I know, praise the Lord. So not only, know, had I come to Jesus, but now knowing that he passed away, praise the Lord, he is with.

Brenda Savanhu (29:05.805)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (29:15.99)
the Lord now because he gave his life to Jesus as well.

Brenda Savanhu (29:22.932)
my goodness.

TIFFANY BREARTON (29:24.428)
I feel like we're on a soap opera, but this is my life.

Brenda Savanhu (29:27.922)
No, this is amazing. But these are adventures with God, right? Like when we look at the characters in the Bible, their lives were like, woo, right? And so this is life. Wow. So he gets saved basically on his deathbed. And so I'm seeing a memorial stone just in you guys being part of this multi-level marketing.

TIFFANY BREARTON (29:30.404)
Yes.

TIFFANY BREARTON (29:36.82)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Amen.

TIFFANY BREARTON (29:51.15)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (29:56.171)
Yeah!

Brenda Savanhu (29:56.621)
You know, hearing the word, seeds being planted, they take root. Your husband, he gets saved right before he passes and you're now a widow, but you're also saved.

TIFFANY BREARTON (30:14.244)
Praise God, yes, I don't know how I would have made it through that time. mean, people even still are like, I don't know how you're not in a mental institution, like how you are walking around, but you know that Bible verse, and I was just looking at it today, I think it's Psalms 34 or something, but it just talks about he's close to the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit. And I like had a crash course with God.

on dependency because here I am in my 20s with all the trauma I shared with you and now I'm a widow. And so the only group of people I could actually relate to was like 89 year old women, know, like so, right, right. So my friends did the best they could to love me, but really, you know, started exiting out slowly.

Brenda Savanhu (30:59.796)
Yeah, because how many widows are in their 20s?

TIFFANY BREARTON (31:11.808)
And so I was left like to just me and the Lord and I'm so, so thankful for that time because now it was just like a set up like I'm not pulling on to worldly things to save me because I know he is the only savior. So I got a crash course. I became a believer and I found out what it looked like to trust God completely.

Quickly, mean, I can't even tell you some of these darkest moments where, you know, I'm in our apartment with just me and my daughter and I was so low that like I could only guarantee that I could wake up, get off the couch that day to get her to school, would have to go home and sleep because I was just so ate up with grief and exhaustion.

Brenda Savanhu (31:44.61)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (32:11.596)
and then wake up to go pick her up, slept almost the entire time, and then go back to the couch and then try to make her dinner. Like it was just like, I mean, just exhaustion and grief beyond belief. But it was like a year of that.

Brenda Savanhu (32:32.33)
A year, I was about to ask how long did that last? So about a year of that.

TIFFANY BREARTON (32:35.402)
on the couch and just letting him heal me and be my savior and do the best I could to be a single mom. And yeah, but so yeah, the headstone I would say is just another memorial and then thinking that was it, but God, and now I do have my knight in shining armor. I don't think he would claim me as.

TIFFANY BREARTON (33:03.298)
But I am married again to a guy, his name's Dustin, that I've known forever, like since high school. So he actually has known all of my story, which is great. We had a great friendship and none of it was a surprise to him. And I was blessed and I can just cry about like the sweet family I have with three more children.

Brenda Savanhu (33:15.726)
Aww. Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (33:32.969)
so it's just miraculous and God is so good.

Brenda Savanhu (33:36.853)
It is. And now I want to hear about, because you said, you know, after your husband passed away, all hope was lost. That's when you put your picture and your name on the, headstone on the tombstone. So then tell me about how do you go from all hope is lost a year on the couch, you know, just getting up to take your daughter to school, bring her back, feed her.

TIFFANY BREARTON (33:48.514)
Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (34:06.176)
to meeting your knight in shining armor and actually dating him and having hope enough to say I'm gonna give this a try, another try.

TIFFANY BREARTON (34:14.008)
young.

Yeah, well, it started so innocently. He was actually going through a tough time, a divorce, and he was a friend. So there was no like motive or anything. I just invited him out. We play a card game called U-Gur. Most people don't know what U-Gur is. Maybe this comes to that area.

Brenda Savanhu (34:29.409)
Mmm, mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (34:36.43)
Yeah, I've heard of it.

TIFFANY BREARTON (34:39.618)
So I invited him out because he was a family friend and my family was going that night and it was something that I could do to distract my mind. And so after the Yucca tournament, we went out to dinner with my brother who was his best friend in high school, my husband's, and it was super innocent. And the night literally just kept going.

Like we kept talking and talking and talking and he shared, you know, secrets and hard times and dreams and I did the same and we ended up talking the entire night. then, yeah, the next day I was just like surprised because that's not what I thought was going to happen. And I found like new feelings come up in me again, like, wow.

Brenda Savanhu (35:20.507)
wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (35:35.105)
Okay, like I'm feeling something here. Like this is a, you know, a familiar feeling. And so we just started walking on that journey and feelings were definitely mutual. And it was just, it was wild, but I don't think it could have happened in any other way because I wasn't going to actively date or pursue, you know, it just was like a God moment.

TIFFANY BREARTON (36:04.433)
We didn't realize that at the time, but it really was just what we both needed. And we had no idea that's what we needed.

Brenda Savanhu (36:11.352)
Wow. So would you say when that dinner happened and the night went on, how healed were you by that point? Like what had God done?

TIFFANY BREARTON (36:23.604)
Nothing. I was a whole hot broken mess. The only thing That's all I can be not literally the only journey I had walked with God on To that date was grief like so that was the first experience trauma anything I'm inviting God in so, you know my history That's gotta provide a lot of whole hot messness and healing needed. So that stuff

Brenda Savanhu (36:28.77)
Thanks for being honest.

Brenda Savanhu (36:40.373)
wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (36:53.348)
as I was having children began to surface. And by the age of 34, I was like, trauma was like up here and I couldn't stuff it down any longer. And I was having anxiety attacks every day. Should have been the happiest I ever was in my entire life having these beautiful children, but I couldn't be. I was overwhelmed with anxiety attacks. Trauma was...

Brenda Savanhu (36:57.39)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (37:06.126)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (37:19.694)
TIFFANY BREARTON (37:21.86)
Yeah, so, I mean, we started going to church together, my husband and I. And we, again, I'm still, very new Christian, right? Like, I'm still learning about God and I heard that God still does miracles. And I was like, what? I mean, I didn't even read the Bible. Like, we didn't, I didn't know context. Like, God's still doing miracles. Okay, well, I really need a miracle.

Brenda Savanhu (37:24.525)
Wow.

Brenda Savanhu (37:33.73)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (37:50.807)
And so they started advertising at church for this event called Women Camp. And it happens at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati every year. Thousands of women show up to like real life camp. It's also where Sade was singing, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, so you like real life camp, like outside tent camping, all the things.

Brenda Savanhu (37:58.03)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (38:03.869)
yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (38:08.692)
Yeah, yeah, I know of that church, yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (38:18.488)
but these women on the screen promoting this event were like, God did a miracle there and my life is forever changed like this language, you know? And I was like, my gosh, I need a miracle. And if God still does miracles and he's doing them on that land, I need to get there. So I signed up and I don't camp. I'm a girly girl. No one wants to do any of that, peeing a portaled.

Brenda Savanhu (38:29.934)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (38:46.798)
like no sleeping bags for me.

TIFFANY BREARTON (38:49.092)
Right, but I was that desperate, you know, like it was like the woman with the blood issue and that's actually the verse he gave me at the beginning of my healing journey. It's Luke 8 48 and it talks, you know, the woman with the blood issue story. You have to read it. It's incredible. But at the end he turns around and he says daughter, your faith has made you well go in peace.

Brenda Savanhu (38:55.822)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (38:59.662)
Brenda Savanhu (39:03.79)
Mmm.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

TIFFANY BREARTON (39:17.632)
and I was not experiencing peace, so I knew that my faith had not made me well yet. So I had to go. I was like the woman with the blood issue chasing after Jesus. So I signed up for this dang camp, put on my big girl pants and did it. And I did not get my miracle at that camp. But what happened was, is I started, I was in a small group with women.

Brenda Savanhu (39:31.296)
Hmm. Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (39:44.525)
and I started bringing all that darkness that I shared earlier to light. And I had a safe place and they met me with love and grace and like, I tasted freedom for the first time that weekend. And so I became addicted to taking steps towards Jesus and seeing how he would heal me. And

Brenda Savanhu (39:55.265)
Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (40:08.334)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (40:11.4)
He would heal me every single time in some way or form. Was I completely healed in one moment? No, I mean, that was a lot. That was, you know, my history. There's a lot. And he's not like this magic genie all the time gonna wave his wand and poof, everything's better. It's like a journey with him, right? Like we live in a broken, fallen world. And sometimes,

Brenda Savanhu (40:22.008)
Mm hmm. Yeah, it's layers, right? Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (40:34.417)
Mm-hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (40:38.488)
He's gonna heal you in a moment, but most of time, you're gonna walk on a healing journey with him. And that's what happened. I was that woman with the blood issue. I found a group at church called Childhood Sexual Trauma. I signed up. I ended up leading that group later on. I signed up for therapy and EMDR therapy. I was asking for prayer every opportunity, every prayer night.

Brenda Savanhu (40:43.785)
Right, right.

TIFFANY BREARTON (41:04.74)
heard about deliverance, was like, I probably need some of that. So I just like literally just kept stepping because I was not at peace. And I heard God is a God who cannot lie, that he keeps his promises. And he told me that daughter, your faith has made you well, go in peace. So I knew that well and peace, he was, he promised me. So I kept going.

Brenda Savanhu (41:16.366)
Hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (41:33.828)
And so I finally experienced it. And now, you know...

Brenda Savanhu (41:37.134)
Wow. You kept going until you finally experienced peace.

TIFFANY BREARTON (41:43.861)
Yeah, until I was well. You know, like when you are not well and you are that ate up with trauma, you feel like you are bleeding from the inside out. The oppression is so deep. I didn't have my voice. There is no way I could have shared my story in this way. You know, it was like literally like the enemy had a choke hold on me and I could not share. could not use my voice.

Brenda Savanhu (41:55.982)
Hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (42:12.46)
and I constantly with the anxiety attacks and felt like I was bleeding on the inside out. Like, you know, I knew that was not well, you know, and I taste it well. So I had to get more of it. And the only thing that was going to give me that peace if I was actually well.

Brenda Savanhu (42:20.856)
Hmm... Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (42:26.446)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (42:33.006)
So, okay, so you know I'm tracking memorial stones. So you got that piece of well, of healing, and you're like, I want more of that. because I was thinking as you were saying that, well, how did you keep going until you got to peace? But you kept going back to that first piece that you felt. because you wanted more of it.

TIFFANY BREARTON (42:52.834)
Yeah. Yeah.

Right, it was like my drug of choice, honestly. I was addicted to that because I was so desperate. I was so desperate. I could not live in that space anymore. I mean, like I had, I was so ate up with fear. I was making every decision in my life based on could I get hurt? Could my kids get hurt? Like there was like so much fear in me.


TIFFANY BREARTON (43:26.572)
I had so much tension in my body. It felt like I could just explode at any time. Like who can live like that? You know, so when I tasted something other than that, that gave me hope and peace and he was the author of that. My formula that I put together was him. Like I have to face him like the woman with the blood issue.

Brenda Savanhu (43:45.74)
You're like, I want all of that. Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (43:53.538)
desperate to just touch him so I can be well too.

Brenda Savanhu (43:58.169)
So that was the, you were wanting the fullness of that. You were wanting the overflowing of that piece of that healing. And you had tried everything, right? You were just broken down. You were willing to in a sleeping bag on the ground.

TIFFANY BREARTON (44:08.664)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (44:14.656)
everything.

TIFFANY BREARTON (44:19.736)
Yeah, yeah. And tell church ladies, church ladies, tell them all my skeletons in my closet. Can you imagine sitting around a circle? I used to be a stripper. you know, like what in the world walking around with crazy hair, all the things, that's how desperate I was. And he was so faithful, you know, like, and that is what he has for us. That's why I

Brenda Savanhu (44:39.598)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (44:46.862)
Mmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (44:47.812)
Share so boldly because he doesn't want you to stay stuck the enemy wants you to stay stuck Because you are no good to the kingdom if you're having anxiety attacks every day. You are so paralyzed with fear. What can you do? What can you do? So the enemy will hold you and hold you and hold you but I'm saying if you chase him and chase him and chase him He is mighty to save

Brenda Savanhu (44:55.414)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (45:03.596)
Mm hmm. Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (45:15.598)
Yeah, Jesus, Jesus, we thank you. So there's something I want to ask you. It might be a little bit of a segue, but I feel like it has a huge part of, it sounds like it's a huge part of your ministry. And I'm suspecting that it had a part in your healing. Talk to me about biblical counseling.

TIFFANY BREARTON (45:19.586)
Yes.

TIFFANY BREARTON (45:25.22)
Okay.

TIFFANY BREARTON (45:37.891)
Well, funny that it was just like one of those next steps sort of things that I was looking for, you God, you brought me out of this and I want to help in any way I can with others. So it was just a, you know, a next step for me and not my healing journey this time, but my next step of what can I do to help others?

Brenda Savanhu (45:45.816)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (45:55.009)
Mmm, mm-hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (46:07.172)
And so I went and got this biblical counseling certification and you know, it's not something I use on a regular. I say that loosely because you do with every encounter, know, in person you meet or whatever, but it was tools in my tool belt, you know, because I really just had a heart because, know, Harriet Tubman, she's one of my heroes, but

Brenda Savanhu (46:07.253)
Mmm, mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (46:17.527)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (46:22.912)
Mm-hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (46:35.788)
It's literally my favorite movie of all times. Have you seen like, my gosh, there's like a newer Harriet. I've watched it, I can't tell you how many times. But I mean like hundreds of times, sometimes I watch it before I go to sleep just so I can wake up with more courage. But she like gave the speech in there and she's like trying to explain to others. Like you will never understand what this feels like.

Brenda Savanhu (46:39.741)
really?

Yeah, I've seen it. think I've seen it at least twice. Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (46:55.118)
Mmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (47:05.672)
I will never forget though, I will never forget the oppression and you know, in her language, all that she's came through. And that's how I was feeling like I will never forget the oppression that the Lord pulled me out of. And how can I not go back and help others?

Brenda Savanhu (47:11.615)
Mmm, mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (47:22.382)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (47:27.896)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (47:29.184)
And so that, mean, she's literally one of the first people I want to talk to when I get to heaven because she is so inspiring. you know, obviously our stories are wildly different, but oppression is oppression. Right. And I couldn't forget, like not being able to have my voice, my opinion, you know, my identity, anything. How could I forget that? And just what now? Like.

Brenda Savanhu (47:34.604)
Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (47:43.235)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (47:54.934)
go on with my life and act like I didn't experience the living God and use my voice for those who don't have a voice. So, you know, that's really just my heart now is just bringing awareness and advocacy for those who do not have their voice.

Brenda Savanhu (48:14.254)
Mmm, that's so amazing. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, go watch the Harriet Tubman movie.

TIFFANY BREARTON (48:20.931)
That's a plug for the Heria movie everyone should watch it.

Brenda Savanhu (48:29.262)
Because Tiffany watches it sometimes before she goes to bed. All right, so Tiffany, as we wrap up, I want you to talk to the woman who's in that place of brokenness. Perhaps they've lost their spouse. Perhaps they've lost their child. Perhaps they've been abused.

Maybe they've lost their job and it's been devastating. Like, you know, speak to them from that place of giving the voice back to the voiceless, bringing them out of bondage and into a place of freedom.

TIFFANY BREARTON (49:11.235)
Yeah, my heart is just that you know, you are never too far gone for God. He will meet you wherever you're at. You don't have to clean up. You don't have to perform. You don't have to pretend that stuff didn't happen or that you're someone else. God wants the real you and he knows all the experiences you've been through. He knows that the enemy, what the enemy has done in your life.

Brenda Savanhu (49:17.826)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (49:33.358)
Mm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (49:40.422)
and he just wants to be your savior. And so I find so many of these women feeling like, oh my gosh, but if you knew what I did or you knew what happened, blah, blah, blah, that they feel too far gone for God. And that's why I share my story to illustrate that you are not, you are not too far gone for God and he can rescue you and your life doesn't have to be over. There is always hope in him. And that's why, you know, my

last book title is called From a Mess to His Message. It's all about him. It's all about him and what he can do with what the enemy stole. He can do it and twist it around and and change everything about everything in your life and your children's life and your grandchildren's life and so on and so on. He can do it.

Brenda Savanhu (50:15.799)
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (50:37.974)
Hmm. Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (50:40.293)
So don't give up hope, cling to him.

Brenda Savanhu (50:44.884)
Amen. I was thinking, say it for the people in the back again, that you do not have to clean yourself up when you're coming to Jesus. You don't have to clean up your emotions. You don't have to clean up your life. You just come as you are. And unfortunately, I think in some church cultures, we feel like we need to clean ourselves up before we enter.

TIFFANY BREARTON (51:08.75)
Amen.

Brenda Savanhu (51:10.262)
the church, but that's not what Jesus is saying. Your life is evidence of that. I mean, even you saying that when you met your husband, you were a mess. God gave you the grace to meet him and for you guys to get married and have children. And he was still working on you. And I think like we...

we have to kind of get out of this mindset of I have to have things perfect. And I'm talking to myself too, because I do that nonsense as well. Like I have to be, I have to have it all together. I have to be perfect for this to happen. So thank you so much for that Tiffany. I would like to invite you to tell the listeners what you want them to know.

TIFFANY BREARTON (51:41.381)
We all need the reminder.

Brenda Savanhu (52:02.222)
Anything else you might want them to know, maybe any events coming up. I'll put the links to your book and your websites and everything. So yeah, just share with them what you want them to know. Then we're gonna do like five rapid fire questions and then I'm gonna ask you to close us in prayer.

TIFFANY BREARTON (52:18.744)
Ooh!

TIFFANY BREARTON (52:22.981)
Okay, I've never had a rapid-fire question session. My heart and what I would always just want to leave everyone with is number one, like I just said, you are never too far gone for God and just challenge you to take a next step towards healing. God wants so much more for you. He did not

Brenda Savanhu (52:24.438)
You

Brenda Savanhu (52:39.736)
Hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (52:50.209)
sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for your sins so you can take your sin and your shame to the grave. There is, there is more, there is more. So I just challenge you that your journey doesn't have to look like mine, but I know somewhere in there, there is some need for healing. So just take a next step today towards him.

Brenda Savanhu (52:59.896)
that part.

TIFFANY BREARTON (53:19.883)
if it's calling a counselor, if it's going to a group of church, if it's talking to a safe person, I don't know that's between you and the Lord, but ask him, take that next step today because, know, this life is so short and there is a very big reason for you in your life, the creator of the universe created you.

Brenda Savanhu (53:40.637)
Mm-hmm.

TIFFANY BREARTON (53:49.324)
on purpose for a purpose in your very own identity that the enemy has tried to strip you of. Go back, take that back away from him, you and God and walk in who you truly are and honor the creator of the universe. He has so much more for you.

Brenda Savanhu (53:52.813)
Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (53:59.808)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (54:14.772)
Amen and amen Wow, yeah, just echo what Tiffany has just said God has so much more for us. He created each and every one of us uniquely and for a purpose and I know sometimes I get caught up in well, you're wanting me to do this thing, but so-and-so is doing that thing We are all unique and the way he brings our gifts out in us. It might be something similar but

TIFFANY BREARTON (54:39.182)
Amen.

Brenda Savanhu (54:44.406)
it's gonna be different. So, yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (54:46.635)
Amen, and we all have different people that we're going to encounter all the time and they are literally out there waiting for you to wake up and heal so they can hear your story of hope. You have a whole other audience that I can't reach. They're waiting on you, whoever's listening, you, they're waiting on you to come alive and have this living, breathing testimony so that they can have hope.

Brenda Savanhu (54:53.729)
Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (55:01.527)
Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (55:15.939)
so that their children can have hope. Like it's so big, it's so huge and it's so vast. This is bigger than you know or think and it doesn't take a major platform. It just takes you sharing your testimony one by one, one at a time. know, like we make it so much harder than it actually needs to be. Well, I can't do it. Are you kidding me? Everyone has a platform now. It's called social media. Literally, you know, like.

Brenda Savanhu (55:20.654)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (55:30.135)
Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (55:35.511)
Yeah.

Brenda Savanhu (55:41.258)
Yeah. Yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (55:44.437)
Everyone there's no excuse the the lady that you're opening the door for

Brenda Savanhu (55:46.699)
It's funny that you said that because I was thinking, yeah, it's funny that you say that because I was thinking the same thing too, that, you know, just because Tiffany and I are on this podcast, that doesn't mean that that's the only way to share. I'm thinking of what you shared with us, Tiffany, that you went to Crossroads Church to that camp and it was in that group of women. So if they had chosen not to go there, you know, some of them may have platforms, some of them may not, but

TIFFANY BREARTON (56:11.63)
Amen.

Brenda Savanhu (56:15.882)
that they were there with you and walked you through that. And so sometimes it's just talking to the person who's next to us at the bus stop in the grocery store, know, at church, at work. not rocket science. It's just opening our mouths. So, yeah.

TIFFANY BREARTON (56:27.286)
Amen.

TIFFANY BREARTON (56:36.611)
Yeah, I mean, Brenda, two of them that were sitting around that campfire with me at woman camp are still to this day, my best friends in the entire room. And I will forever be thankful for them just listening to my story. It meant so much for me and for my family for generations to come.

Brenda Savanhu (56:47.884)
Wow.

TIFFANY BREARTON (57:05.077)
And that's more impactful than probably anything I've ever done. So we have to get the enemy's voice out of our head that, we can only do this and that. And it's never going to be big enough because I don't have a platform. It's those moments that change people's lives forever.

Brenda Savanhu (57:10.38)
Mm-hmm.

Brenda Savanhu (57:23.979)
Yeah.

Woo, this is so good Tiffany!

TIFFANY BREARTON (57:28.645)
This was fun, so fun. Are you gonna give me those rapid questions? I'm so excited.

Brenda Savanhu (57:31.02)
This is so much fun. All right, so let me give you some rapid fire questions. Book or movie?

TIFFANY BREARTON (57:40.503)

TIFFANY BREARTON (57:58.886)

Brenda Savanhu (58:04.046)

TIFFANY BREARTON (58:09.763)

Brenda Savanhu (58:15.308)
Do you like to recharge with people or without people?

TIFFANY BREARTON (58:19.141)
without and I love people like I feel recharged now that I've spent time with you but when I I need to get along with God I have got to get away from the noise and people sometimes that's how I recharge

Brenda Savanhu (58:21.236)
Mmm. Mmm.

Brenda Savanhu (58:35.21)
Yeah, yeah, I'm an introvert and I like to recharge alone. But I love my people. And I love people I can connect with, like just connecting with you. So sometimes that recharges me. But then after a while, I'm like, OK, I just need to go be quiet by myself.

TIFFANY BREARTON (58:51.173)
Yeah, amen. I hear that.
