A Heartfelt Conversation with Trina Powers-Hadley and Sarah Rose
In a recent faith conversation, Sarah Rose sat down with the inspiring Trina Powers-Hadley to share stories of faith, resilience, and divine purpose. Their dialogue was a powerful testament to how trusting in God’s promises can transform even the most challenging circumstances into testimonies of His goodness.
A Spirit-Led Beginning
The conversation began with heartfelt prayers, setting a tone of reverence and expectancy. Sarah Rose expressed gratitude for the Holy Spirit’s guidance, and both women acknowledged the importance of seeking divine direction in their words and actions. Their humble prayers reminded listeners that faith is rooted in dependence on God’s power.
Getting to Know Trina
Sarah introduced Trina to those unfamiliar with her journey. Raised in Texas within a rodeo family, Trina’s roots are deeply intertwined with faith and grit. She shared her background in rodeo, her love for ranch life, and her family—her husband Jim, their children, and grandchildren. Despite her achievements in rodeo, Trina humbly emphasized that her greatest accolade is her relationship with Jesus.
Overcoming Life’s Hardships
Trina’s story is one of perseverance. An eleven-year ovarian cancer survivor with the BRCA2 gene, she faced a 70% risk of breast cancer. Her health battles didn’t end there—her husband Jim overcame Parkinson’s, and her son Shane survived a traumatic brain injury from steer wrestling. Her daughter endured serious injuries but is thriving in Mississippi. Through it all, Trina credits her faith as the anchor that kept her grounded.
A Ministry of Hope: Look Up Foundation
Inspired by her family’s challenges, Trina and Shane launched the Look Up Faith Foundation. Shane’s miraculous recovery after a severe brain injury inspired a book sharing their journey of faith and healing. Their mission is to encourage others to believe that with God, all things are possible—a message that resonates deeply in their ministry.
Living in Abundance
Sarah Rose admired Trina’s abundant spirit—an overflow not from worldly possessions but from the Holy Spirit within her. Trina humbly acknowledged her flaws but emphasized that God uses imperfect people for His perfect plans. She reflected on her early days, her struggles, and how her faith grew stronger through trials. Her life exemplifies that true abundance is rooted in trusting God’s promises.
Faith’s Power in Trials
The conversation delved into the power of prayer and spiritual warfare. Trina recounted how she surrounded Shane’s hospital room with Scripture and prayer, declaring God’s promises and resisting the enemy’s lies. Her unwavering belief that God would heal Shane exemplifies how faith can combat fear and doubt. She emphasized that our choices—to believe or to doubt—shape our outcomes.
The Importance of Believing
A recurring theme was the necessity of believing in God’s Word. Trina shared how her early exposure to Scripture helped her make faith-based decisions, such as teaching her children and confronting life’s challenges. She highlighted that God’s commandments are simple—love God and love others—and that understanding His Word is key to walking in victory.
Blessed to Be a Blessing
Throughout the conversation, Trina emphasized the importance of generosity and service. Whether sharing her resources or offering kindness, she believes that we are called to be rivers, not reservoirs—receiving God’s blessings to pour out onto others. Her example encourages listeners to look for opportunities to bless those around them, trusting that God will supply all needs.
Standing Firm Against the Enemy
Addressing the spiritual battles believers face, Trina warned of the enemy’s schemes—trying to steal, kill, and destroy. She urged believers to put on their spiritual armor daily, guard their minds, and speak Scripture over their situations. Her testimony about faith-filled declarations in Shane’s healing journey shows that victory is won through faith and persistent prayer.
The Power of Community and Discipleship
Trina also highlighted the importance of fellowship—gathering with others, studying Scripture, and encouraging one another. She shared how her faith has been strengthened by friends who walk closely with Jesus, especially those who quietly live out their faith through actions rather than words.
A Call to Action
Wrapping up, Trina called believers to stand boldly for Jesus, refusing to back down amid societal pressures. She reminded everyone that our purpose is to represent Christ in every arena—raising our voices against injustice, defending the unborn, and speaking truth with love.
Final Thoughts and Prayer
The conversation closed with a heartfelt prayer, thanking God for His mercy, grace, and the gift of eternal life. Both women prayed for listeners to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding and to walk confidently in their faith.
In Conclusion
Trina Powers-Hadley’s story is a powerful reminder that faith is not just for Sunday mornings but is a daily choice to believe God’s promises. Her life demonstrates that even in the midst of trials, God’s grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness. As believers, we are called to be courageous, generous, and steadfast—fearlessly unshackled by doubt and fully anchored in Christ.
