Someone Fought For Me -- Tracey & Hannah Gray

Tracey’s life began in circumstances no child should ever have to endure. After entering the foster care system as a baby, he experienced severe childhood trauma and abuse that eventually led to addiction, treatment facilities, suicide attempts, and years of trying to outrun his past.
But God kept placing people in his path who refused to give up on him.
His adoptive parents. A caseworker who fought for him. A judge who saw something worth saving. And eventually Hannah—the woman who would become his wife and help him realize that what he had been through did not have to define who he was.
Today, Tracey is a husband, father, firefighter, and paramedic. And in an incredible full-circle chapter of his story, the former foster child eventually became a foster father himself.
When Hannah and Tracey welcomed Austin into their home, they had no idea how many “Godwinks” would surround his adoption—including an unbelievable connection between Austin’s case and Tracey’s own foster-care story decades earlier.
This is a powerful conversation about trauma, recovery, faith, marriage, foster care, adoption, redemption, and the angels God places in our lives when we need someone willing to fight for us.
And Hannah and Tracey leave us with this beautiful truth:
There is nowhere you can go that Jesus won’t still love you. Your sin can never outrun God’s grace.
Go look for those angels. 🤍
Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, sexual abuse, suicide attempts, addiction, and the death of a child.
