About this sermon

Breanne grew up in the Diocese of Austin, Texas and was heavily involved in various outreach ministries until she graduated and left the country to serve as a full-time foreign missionary. After traveling to 13 countries she returned home and began to serve in ministry Stateside - giving talks at youth retreats and events all over the U.S. She spent some time in the convent discerning her vocation, and also as the Campus Minister at Texas State University. She recently got married and now has two children. She has been sober for 8 years and has helped many other addicts pursue recovery along the way. In her free time, which doesn’t exist anymore since she is a mother, she likes to ride motorcycles, shoot guns, and go to Adoration.
