The series of personal tragedy and suffering that Elizabeth Payson Prentiss encountered is hard to fathom. Stories of lesser personal loss that caused individuals to completely shut out even the idea of a loving, personal almighty God are numerous and easy to find. So what would become of Elizabeth, this heart-broken mother, wife of a respected Presbyterian pastor, and daughter of arguably the most beloved and powerful pastor’s of 19th century New England? More. She would plead to God for more.

Very good episode well worth the wait
Very proud to call Ronnie my friend and brother in Christ
Thanks Jerry! I thank God for your friendship too, brother!
Precious Mr. Ronnie Brown,
You don’t even know how wonderfully Lord is using you to touch lives. This episode came at perfect time and convicted me. I really didn’t want any more children after having 2 but the quotes from Ms Elizabeth made me realize that how selfish I was. However , now I realize that I am pregnant with my 3rd baby and Lord used this episode to prepare for me to this beautiful surprise. May God help me to be good mother and raise up my
Kids in ways of Lord as she did faithfully amidst all pain.
I love my Lord Jesus who works in such mysterious ways. Pls keep up the good work and add more episodes as I am faithful listener and I share with others as well.
God bless you for making a difference.
Blessings

J, Thank you so much for leaving your comment, and tell me how God used this episode in such a powerful and timely way. After I shared your comment with my wife, she recalled how she went through those same feeling and emotions concerning our decision to have our fourth child. But she continued to sense God urging her to have one more. We were blessed several months later a baby girl. We could not imagine life without her now! What a blessing God has given us in all our children. We pray that you will find in your little “surprise” the richest of blessings!
Again, thank you for sharing!
God bless you!
Ronnie Brown
Thank you so much for your kind reply and prayer. I truly believe Lord is doing deep work in our lives through all this and he has given us tool like your episodes to prepare to handle each situation through faith in God. I again request your family prayers for me and this precious “God ordained” child.
In turn I pray that may Lord make each and every “Forgotten” episode to touch many lives , change them, comfort them and transform them for Lord Jesus. There is only one solution for all our problems and that’s Lord Jesus. Thank you for sharing more about Lord Jesus and honoring him through your hard work.
Blessing upon blessing on you all of you.
Blessings and prayers ,

Hi Ronnie,
Thanks for your great site. I’m one who has not forgotten EPP, because she’s my great great grandmother! The house that she built in Dorset, Vermont, in 1868 is still in the family, and we gather there every year. We are quite aware and proud of her legacy!
My mom found your site, and we were delighted by the picture above, which we have never seen. My cousin, who is an artist, is trying to do a painting of our matriarch, but we have little to go on. Could you please tell us where you found the picture, and send me a file?
Thank you so much!
Thanks for listening to the podcast! What a delight to hear from you! I am not sure where I found it. It’s been several months ago. I will try to locate it. Thanks for reaching out!
Doug,
Several times this year I have tried to locate the source for this photo. I had a hard drive failure back in March of 2022, the original file (and any information about where I got it) is inaccessible. But today found a blog post on a website that had the same picture. The URL is here: https://www.mediagratiae.org/blog/a-letter-to-a-new-christian
The day of my posting of the image was May 17, 2021. The posting of this article on mediagratiae.org was September 1, 2020, so you might be able to check with them. I’m sorry I could not be more help.
Thanks for listening to the Forgotten Podcast!
