“I believe God put him there to truly make a difference. He is working in the chapel which is absolutely amazing and I could never be prouder of my dad and the man that he is,” she said on her ‘Unlocked’ podcast. “I get to hear all these people’s stories and how he’s affecting their lives, and encouraging change and just all the people that are coming to know Jesus is just absolutely amazing. So that puts me at peace. It lets me know that they are ok.”

All in all, Savannah said her dad is “doing pretty good.”

“There are days that are tough, there are struggles. We talk to him, we email him, we get to see him,” she explained.

That’s been taxing on Savannah.

“Chloe, at 10-years-old, is trying to process them being gone and missing her mom and we were driving down the road the other day and Chloe had so much anger towards the situation and she just said, ‘Why, why? They’re not bad people. They don’t belong there. Why?’” she explained. “I’m trying every single day to get mom and dad home. I’m working with the legal teams. I’m reaching out to anyone that I can possibly reach out to to help me. I’m humbling myself and saying, ‘Hey I need some help…. Can you please, please help me.’”

Savannah described having to try and reason with Chloe about the power of prayer.

“She looked at me with tears just rolling down her face and said, ‘Guess what. I pray all the time. I pray for mom and dad to get home. I pray all day and guess what Sassy, nothing happens. It doesn’t work.’ And when a 10-year-old says that to you, how do you respond? There are times where I feel that way too. I feel that I pray and pray and pray and I’m waiting for a miracle to happen and it just doesn’t happen,” she said. “I feel so defeated. I don’t feel adequate enough for this job. I am not my mother, which I wish I was because she is the kindest, most loving, most amazing human being. I guess in moments like these, I realize I’m more like my mom than I realize. Because, I’m getting through it. I find the strength to get through it to do it.”
