You are never alone, my sweet friend. You are welcome here and invited to come alongside me as I interview and meet some remarkable people. I promise you will be encouraged, full of hope, inspired, and guided in this community of Christians. For over half my life, I dealt with debilitating depression and anxiety from sexual trauma. I was a Christian but never felt worthy enough to be loved by God. I was always full of shame and guilt, and that kept my joy and peace in a forever battle to win over my mind. No matter how many friends I had, I always felt alone and unwanted. I self-medicated with alcohol for years and had terrible romantic relationships, trying to find my self-worth in anything besides my true identity in Christ Jesus. I finally realized that to be free from depression, anxiety, and pain, I would have to submit my life fully to God. Doesn’t that seem counter-intuitive? Become a slave to be free? But it finally all clicked. As I was at my” rock bottom,” the revelation that I couldn’t keep doing this my way and that I needed Jesus to take control finally hit me. Since then, I have given all I have to Christ, and he lit a fire and ignited my mission. Helping to save other women stuck in sinful bondage and help set them free is my ministry. I have studied trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, and hopelessness. I have prayed and found scripture and teachings on the promises of healing, hope, peace, love, and joy. I want to share every knowledge I have consumed for this ministry to help you and other women along their journey. I am using this podcast to bring hope and remind you that you are worthy, cherished, and deeply loved! There is a plan and a calling in your life, and we are all on this wild ride together.
