Fortitude
Everyone has a story of Fortitude! When we tell our stories of pain in adversity - stories of courage, redemption and hope - we give others permission to speak up and get the help they need. Each episode will give the listener a look inside what overcoming adversity looks like no matter what life throws at you. Each story is uniquely different - stories of alcoholism/addiction, infidelity, rape, abuse, loss of a child/children, cancer, rare disease, tragic accidents...etc.! We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption. I am your host, Heather Kittelson, and I am so excited to have you here as part of the Fortitude community!

Hi Heather and Amos!! I just wanted to tell you how much I have loved your podcast. Sometime this spring I heard about your podcast and since then I have listened to every single one! I had no idea how powerful it is to hear the testimonies of other people and how God is working in their lives. It has made me reflect and question what I am missing out on and how I need to change things in my life in order to hear God's voice. Thank you for doing what you do and following God's lead. It has really impacted me.
