I am excited to share this conversation I had back in August of 2023 with Julie Mirlicourtois. Julie shares her journey from a secular upbringing to discovering faith and finding purpose in storytelling.
Growing up, Julie was skeptical of religion due to her father's beliefs, but her passion for storytelling led her to a successful career in documentaries and television. However, the demands of the industry took a toll on her mental health, leading to anxiety and depression.
Everything changed when Julie moved to Houston and encountered Story Church while looking for a school for her daughter to attend. Through the community and teachings, Julie and her husband came to faith in Jesus. Inspired by her newfound faith, Julie began sharing testimonial stories through producing the Maybe God podcast, touching hearts and minds across the globe.
In 2023, Julie released the powerful documentary "ACROSS," shedding light on the plight of asylum seekers by sharing their stories and the stories of those who assisted them.
Enjoy this episode as hear Julie's inspiring journey and the transformative power of storytelling.

Bio:
Julie produced television programming for CBS News, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and OWN all over the world before moving to Houston, Texas with her family in 2015.  In addition to producing episodes of Maybe God, she’s the Media Director at The Story Church. For most of her life, Julie has been “spiritual but not religious” and never imagined herself working for a church or producing a podcast about God. But after a series of events following her move to Houston, she couldn’t deny God’s existence and His plan for her life.

Anchor Verse:
Psalm 23
