God Restores the Soul: Susan Troth

Susan Troth never imagined that the trials of life would lead her to a podium at the United Nations. Yet, in March 2025, she found herself standing before the 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, sharing her journey of faith, healing, and hope with women from all over the world.

Susan shares her story of struggle, resilience, and surrender on this week’s episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast.

From facing infertility and childlessness to becoming a widow at 54, Susan has known deep sorrow. Financial hardships, ministry stress, and even a near-death experience have tested her in ways that seemed unbearable. Yet through every trial, she has found herself drawn closer to God. "So blessed by God, I feel spoiled," she often says, not out of pride, but with a heart full of gratitude for the blessings that came amid her struggles.

As an associate professor of worship at Cedarville University, Susan had spent years teaching others to worship God. But it wasn’t until she walked through her own dark moments that she truly understood what it meant to surrender to God's will. Her bestselling book, “Stressed to Splessed,” shares her faith-based journey to find healing and new horizons.

Susan's commitment to service — spanning over 4,000 volunteer hours in grief counseling, music teaching, missions, and disaster relief — earned her a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award. But her greatest passion is mentoring women, showing them that even in their toughest times, God can be trusted.

Her message is simple but powerful: Through surrender to God’s will, healing and hope are possible. Tune in and be inspired by Susan’s journey of faith and resilience.
